This is a mostly vegetarian burrito that I came up with using mild green chiles. I love the textures and flavors and it's light with the filling's main ingredients being zucchini and black beans. It is easy to put together and you can make it totally vegetarian or even vegan by substituting the cheese for your favorite veggie cheese and using meatless green chile sauce. Hope you enjoy!! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons light olive oil |
1 cup chopped white onion |
2 garlic cloves, crushed and chopped |
4 small zucchini, cubed (about 3 cups) |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 (15 ounce) can green chili sauce (i used stokes green chile sauce with pork) |
1 (4 ounce) can green chilies, drained (i used ortega hot original fire roasted green chiles) |
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed |
8 -10 flour tortillas |
8 ounces cheddar cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil on medium heat in a medium skillet and then add the garlic, onions, and zucchini. Stir well and saute for 10 minutes, stirring often, until vegetables are soft. Stir in the salt and pepper then remove zucchini to a bowl.
2. In the same skillet; pour in the green chile sauce, green chiles, and black beans. Stir well to blend then heat through (about 5-7 minutes) until it starts to bubble a little.
3. Remove from heat and serve in warmed flour tortillas with the zucchini then sprinkle with cheese and wrap up burrito-style.
4. Garnish with your favorite toppings like tomato, avocado, and cilantro.
