Burros

Method

Burros

  1. 1

    Warm a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir in the diced potatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and color slightly, about 8–10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the roasted green chiles to the skillet along with the ground cumin and chili powder. Cook for 1–2 minutes to bloom the spices.

  6. 6

    Pour in the pinto beans and corn; stir to combine. Roughly mash half the beans with the back of a spoon to create some creaminess while leaving some texture.

  7. 7

    Season with salt and black pepper. If the mixture seems dry, splash in 1/4 cup water or vegetable broth and simmer until the potatoes are tender and the flavors meld, about 5–7 minutes.

  8. 8

    While the filling simmers, warm the flour tortillas in a separate dry skillet or in the microwave until pliable, about 10–15 seconds per tortilla.

  9. 9

    To assemble each burrito, place a generous portion of filling down the center of a tortilla. Top with shredded cheddar cheese.

  10. 10

    Fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom to enclose. If desired, place the burritos seam-side down on the skillet for 1–2 minutes to lightly toast and melt the cheese.

  11. 11

    Serve with chopped cilantro, avocado slices, and lime wedges. Optional extras: salsa, sour cream, or crema.
