Vegan Smothered Burritos With Red Sauce Food

SMOTHERED VEGAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Enchilada Sauce: Combine all ingredients in a pan. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Burritos: Mix rice, black beans, and red pepper. Add salt and pepper as needed.
• Place 1/3 of rice and bean mixture on a tortilla. Fold over sides of tortillas and roll away from you making a tight burrito. If you fill the tortillas with too much mixture, they will be harder to roll. Repeat with the other two tortillas.
• Pour about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into a baking dish. My dish was 9 1/2" x 7 1/2". Place burritos in dish. Pour the rest of the sauce over the top. Sprinkle grated vegan cheddar over the top. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes, and broil for a few minutes at 450° if vegan cheese isn't melted yet.
• Garnish with chopped tomatoes, kalamata olives, and pickled peppers and onions.

WET BURRITOS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Brown the ground beef and onion in a skillet over medium high heat. Cook and stir until evenly browned and onion begins to soften. Click for a medium skillet.
• Drain grease, and season with the garlic, cumin, salt and pepper. Stir in the green chilies and refried beans until well blended. Turn off heat, but keep warm.
• In a saucepan, combine the tomato sauce, no-bean chili, and enchilada sauce. Whisk together until mixed well, and cook over medium heat until heated through. Turn off heat and keep warm. Click for a whisk.
• Divide the beef and bean mixture into 6 portions in the pan.
• Place a burrito sized tortilla on a plate and place 1/6 of the ground beef mixture onto the center.
• Top with a little cheese and lettuce. Leave the lettuce out if you don't want it baked inside. You can substitute or add other veggies as well.
• Fold in the left and right side of the tortilla over the filling, holding in place with your fingers. Then fold in the top and bottom sides of the tortilla over the filling (like an envelope) making sure to overlap well so no filling can escape.
• Repeat with the other 5 tortillas.
• Place seam side down in two greased 9 x 13 oven safe dishes. Click for a 9 x 13 baking dish.
• Pour the entire saucepan of the sauce over the top of the burritos.
• Top with the remaining cheese sprinkled over all evenly.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until burritos are heated through and cheese is melted.
• Top with more lettuce, tomato, sour cream and dried chives, or your choice of toppings.

VEGAN BURRITOS

Steps:

• To make the beans, heat the oil in a pan and fry the garlic for a minute, then stir in the chipotle paste. Tip in the tomatoes, stir and bring to a simmer. Season with salt. Simmer until thick, add the beans and cook briefly (make sure any water gets cooked off), then stir in the coriander.
• If you are using cold cooked rice, then warm it through, stir in the lime juice, red onion and nuts and season well.
• Lay out the tortillas and sprinkle over some spinach, add some avocado slices and some rice, then top with the bean mix. Add a shake of hot sauce, if you like. Roll the bottom up, then fold the sides in to stop the filling falling out as you roll. Wrap tightly in foil, if you like, and cut in half.
