Ingredients for Veggie Relleno Burrito

Method

Directions for Preparing Veggie Relleno Burrito

  1. 1

    Prepare the Calabacitas

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add calabacitas and sauté until tender. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Burritos

    Lay a flour tortilla flat. In the center, add 1/2 cup of Puerto Rican beans, a stuffed relleno pepper, and 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese.

  3. 3

    Roll the Burritos

    Fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Heat the Burritos

    In a medium skillet, place the burritos seam-side down and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  5. 5

    Serve with Sauce

    Place the burritos on a plate, smother with red or green chile sauce, and top with extra cheddar cheese. Serve with calabacitas, sour cream, and sopa on the side.
