Instructions
Cilantro-Lime Brown Rice
- Cook rice according to package instructions.
- Once the rice is cooled, add freshly squeezed lime juice, freshly chopped cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.
Tomato and Corn Salsa
- Wash and chop cherry tomatoes into quarters. Drain canned sweet corn. Peel and finely chop red onion and garlic.
- Mix all chopped ingredients in a small bowl. Add freshly chopped cilantro and olive oil. Stir until combined.
Pan-fried Fajita Veggies
- The EASIEST way to make fajita veggies is in a sheet pan. For detailed steps, top tips, video, and more guidance visit our Fajita Veggies post. However, if we need only 1-2 servings we usually make pan-fried veggies in 5 minutes.
- Peel and slice onion ¼-inch (4-5 mm) wide. Wash and slice bell peppers also ¼-inch (4-5 mm) wide.
- Pre-heat a frying pan on medium heat. Add olive oil.
- Once the oil is hot enough add the onion and the bell pepper slices and sprinkle them with fajitas spice mix. Stir to combine and fry them for 5 minutes until they are tender.
Guacamole
- Take a ripe avocado. Cut them in half and turn it with your hands around the seed. Spoon the soft avocado flesh into a small bowl. Mash it with your fork.
- Peel and finely chop the red onion. Squeeze a bit of lime juice. Chop fresh cilantro leaves.
- Add all chopped ingredients plus lime juice and salt to the mashed avocado and mix well.
Sofritas
- For more details, visit our Copycat Chipotle Sofritas recipe.
- Use a firm tofu and press it. Pat it dry with a paper towel.
- Fry thin tofu slices with a bit of olive oil until golden brown. Use a food processor to chop the fried tofu.
- Add all marinade ingredients to a food processor and chop them until chunky.
- Marinate the tofu crumbles for 30 minutes.
- Take a cast-iron skillet or a frying pan as well and heat it over medium heat. If you feel the sauce became too thick at the end of the marinating time, add a bit of veggie broth. Start with ¼ cup (0,5dl). Add the marinated tofu crumbles and cook for about 10 minutes.
Assemble Chipotle Veggie Burrito
- Warm your tortilla in an oil-free frying pan on low heat. Place your warmed tortilla on the plate. Then add 1-2 Tbsp from all ingredients.
- I usually start with Guacamole and Tomato-Corn Salsa so they can help holding the rice and beans in place.
- Then, add the Cilantro-Lime Brown Rice and the Canned Black beans.
- Add 1-2 spoonful of Sofritas
- Top these with Fajita Veggies and Shredded Lettuce.
- I finish it off with a Shredded Cheese and a drizzle of Sour Cream (or mayo). And roll you burrito.
Notes
How to roll a burrito?
- Gently fold the two sides of the tortilla on top of the filling.
- Holding the sides in place, fold the bottom on top of the filling. The bottom edge should be placed right behind the filling.
- Place your fingers on top of the fold and gently roll the tortilla upwards until you reach the top edge.
- Hold still and close the sides with your small fingers.
- If you placed the tin foil under the tortilla, you can wrap it up tightly.
- Cut in half and serve! And enjoy of course!
