Rajas Burrito Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Roast the Peppers

   Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let cool.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   Once the peppers are cool, peel off the charred skin, remove the seeds, and chop them into small pieces. In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

3. 3

   Mix the Filling

   In a bowl, combine the chopped poblano peppers, sautéed onions and garlic, cream cheese, sour cream, shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

4. 4

   Assemble the Burritos

   Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spoon a generous amount of the filling onto the center of the tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up tightly to form a burrito. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

5. 5

   Serve

   You can serve the burritos as-is or grill them on a skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side for a crispy texture. Cut in half and enjoy!
