Chipotle Fish Burrito Recipes

HOMEMADE CHIPOTLE BURRITO

Steps:

• Rinse beans and place in a large saucepan. Cover with water 2 inches higher than beans and soak overnight. Drain beans in a colander and rinse. Return to saucepan or stock pot. Add water and bring to a boil. Add oil, cumin and cilantro to pan with black beans. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until beans are fully cooked and flavors have combined, about 90 minutes. Remove from heat. Find and remove bay leaf and drain excess water. Set aside to serve. In a 2-quart heavy saucepan, heat oil over low heat, stirring occasionally until melted. Add rice and lime juice to pot. Cook until rice is almost translucent. Add water and salt to pot and bring to a hard boil. Once water boils, cover and reduce heat to low. Simmer and cook undisturbed until rice is tender and water is fully absorbed, about 15-20 minutes. Turn off the heat and leave pot covered for 30 minutes to allow rice to steam. Do not remove cover or stir rice. Transfer rice to a medium bowl and fluff with a fork. In a small bowl or ramekin, mix lime juice and salt together. Pour over rice and stir to combine. Add cilantro to rice and stir to combine. Chop vegetables and oregano and toss together in a small bowl. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high until simmering. Sauté vegetables until fragrant and starting to brown on edges slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and reserve in bowl. Core and seed tomatoes. Dice into small pieces and place in a medium bowl. Mince jalapeño and onion. Add to bowl with tomatoes. Add juices, cilantro, and salt to bowl with tomato mixture. Stir to combine. Cook corn in a small saucepan. Drain and reserve in a medium bowl. Mince poblano chilies and cook in now-empty sauce pan over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add to bowl with corn. Mince poblano chilies, jalapeño, and onion. Add to bowl with corn. Add juices, cilantro, and salt to bowl with corn mixture. Stir to combine. Using a knife, cut avocados in half and remove pits. Using spoon, scoop out green flesh into a medium sized non-reactive bowl. Using a potato masher (or a fork), mash the avacados. Add chopped onion, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix with a spatula until well combined. Chop tomato. If serving immediately, mix in with guacamole. Otherwise, store tomatoes in an air tight container and mix into guacamole right before serving. Place sour cream in a small bowl for serving on burritos. Shredded cheese and mix together in a medium bowl. Wash several pieces of fresh romaine lettuce. Dry each leaf. Roll each left up tightly. Using a sharp knife, cut rolled up leaf into 1/4-inch pieces, creating long, thin strands of shredded lettuce. Reserve in a bowl. Top tortilla with your favorite mix of homemade Chipotle-style toppings. To roll, fold in sides of tortilla over rice, fold tortilla edge closest to you over toppings, and pull tortilla edge farthest from you down, tightening wrap as you go. It takes some practice, so have a fork handy for the first few burritos while you get the hang of it.

CHIPOTLE CHICKEN BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add 1/2 cup pico de gallo, the chopped chipotle and adobo sauce to taste; cook until the mixture starts to sizzle, about 2 minutes. Add the beans and 3/4 cup water; bring to a low boil, then stir in the chicken and cook until the mixture is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and season with salt.
• Heat the tortillas as the label directs. Arrange the rice horizontally in the lower half of each tortilla, leaving a 1 1/2-inch border on all sides. Top evenly with the cheese, chicken mixture, lettuce and the remaining pico de gallo.
• Fold the bottom edge of each tortilla snugly over the filling, tuck in the sides and roll up tightly. Cut the burritos in half and serve with guacamole if using.

CHIPOTLE FISH BURRITO

Steps:

• Prepare a Guacamole by scoring avocadoes and mashing with Lime Juice, Splash Tequila, Chopped Cilantro, and 2 finely chopped shallots. Set in fridge. Mix flour and spices together and coat fish with them. Fry in a pan lightly with olive oil. Cut into 2 inch long segments. Moisten tortillas and warm slightly to keep them pliable. Place fish, Guacamole, Salsa, and chopped nappa cabbage in the center of the tortilla. Add Cheese and Chipotle sauce. Fold burrito into a pocket by compressing contents into a rectangular area, fold in the left/right hand sides and roll vertically. Place the burrito in a pan seam side down and heat until it becomes golden brown. Heat the opposite side to the same point. Cut on the diagonal and serve.

CHIPOTLE MEATBALL BURRITOS

Steps:

• Combine the meatballs, chipotle salsa and 1/4 cup water in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, warm the refried beans and rice separately as the labels direct. Spread the beans in a rectangle in the center of each tortilla and sprinkle with about half of the cheese. Divide the rice, meatball mixture, pico de gallo, avocado and lettuce among the tortillas and season with salt and pepper. Top with the remaining cheese. Fold in the sides of the tortillas, then roll up.
• Brush the burritos all over with the vegetable oil and tightly wrap each in foil. Working in two batches, warm the burritos in a large skillet over medium heat until browned and crisp, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Serve with more chipotle salsa.
