Burrito Filling

Salsa Verde

Method

Preparing the Burrito

  1. 1

    Cook the Dorado

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the dorado fillets, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    Once the fish is cooked, remove it from the skillet and flake it with a fork. In a bowl, combine the flaked fish, cooked rice, black beans, cheese, and lime juice. Mix well.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Burritos

    Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side. Place a generous portion of the filling onto each tortilla and roll them tightly to form burritos.

  4. 4

    Griddle the Burritos

    Place the burritos seam side down on the skillet and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.

Making the Salsa Verde

  1. 5

    Blend the Salsa Verde

    In a blender or food processor, combine tomatillos, cilantro, jalapeño, minced garlic, lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
