ENCHILADA STYLE BURRITOS

Enchilada Style Burritos is an easy to make and delicious meal where piping hot tortillas are stuffed with cheese, enchilada sauce, beans and rice, and served with delectable sides. Be sure to try this out if you love Mexican food recipes.

When I first came to United States, my husband and I used to frequently visit Mexican restaurants. The reason for this was, Mexican and Indian cuisines make of similar spices and herbs in their dishes, and as I was a vegetarian then it allowed me to try different items from the menu. I have tried to replicate the enchilada style burrito that I had as the very first

Mexican meal here in the U.S. This was served with pica de gallo, salsa, lettuce, sour cream and guacamole. Yes, it is quite a heavy meal. A single enchilada burrito is filling on its own. So the sides are completely optional. I will share the recipes for each side soon.

I have used store bought red enchilada sauce for this recipe. Always taste the sauce and use it as desired. You can also substitute the rice and black beans in the recipe by one single black beans rice.

Step III

• Preheat the oven to 350 deg. F and then put it on broil mode.

Step IV

• Divide the tortillas dough into two equal parts. Using a rolling pin, roll them as big as the size of your non-stick pan / tava / griddle. If using store bought tortillas, its alaways good to heat it once on griddle.

• Then flip and cook on the other side. Repeat this for the remaining tortilla.

Step V

Notes

 

• Also use meat of your choice if desired.
• You can use store bought tortillas for the recipe.
• You can also substitute the rice and black beans by one single black beans rice.
• I have used jasmine rice for this recipe. Use any rice of your choice but see that you saute it first to get the nutty flavor.
• I have used mexican cheese blend that consists of shredded Cheddar, Monterey Jack, Asadero, Queso Blanco. You can use any one cheese or a mixture of all.
• You can use substitute black beans with pinto beans.
• Nicely drain and wash the canned black beans to reduce the sodium.
• If using dried black beans :

1. Soak the black beans in water for 3 hours adding little baking soda and drain them. Adding soda makes it cook faster.
2. Cook the black beans in pan or pressure cooker for one whistle. Add salt while cooking.
