Roadrunner Burrito Or Taco Filling Recipes

BURRITO FILLING

Steps:

• Saute onion in a large skillet adding garlic and cilantro during the last minute or two.
• Add meat and seasonings and stir well. Allow to saute for a minute or two, letting the meat absorb some of the flavors.
• When it seems that it is really dry and the mixture is starting to stick add the tomatoes and liquid and scrape all the browned bits from the bottom. TONS of flavor there. Add sugar if using. ( The sugar makes the tomatoes taste more like home grown and home canned or even organic).
• Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes or so. When you are ready to use the mixture return heat to high and cook off almost all the liquid so that your filling is not runny or wet.
• Use to fill tortillas or in a casserole.

TOFU TACO/BURRITO FILLING

Steps:

• Optional for more texture: Freeze tofu overnight. Thaw by boiling for 15 minutes.
• Sauté onion and garlic in olive oil.
• Add aminos, tomato paste and spices to pan. Stir well.
• Squeeze the water out of the tofu with a dishtowel. Crumble it finely into the pan (so that it vaguely has the texture of ground beef). Cook, stirring occasionally, a few minutes or until slightly browned.
• Drain most of the liquid off the tomatoes, then add to pan. Stir and cook a few more minutes.
