Chipotle Black Bean & Rice Burritos

March 14, 2015 By Sage 11 Comments

There is no burrito culture in Denmark… they make guacamole with creme fraiche, call tortillas “pancakes,” and eat those pancakes with a knife and fork.  I pine for decent Mexican and Tex-Mex food, and I even miss Taco Bell.

This vegetarian chipotle black bean and rice burrito recipe is a riff on Taco Bell’s 7-layer burrito.  It layers chipotle-spiced black beans and brown rice with lettuce, cheese, salsa, creme fraiche, and spring onions in warm grilled tortilla.

Black Bean and Rice Burrito Recipe

Burrito Filling

1T oil
1t chili powder
1t cumin
1 canned chipotle pepper, minced
1T adobo (from chipotle can)
2 garlic cloves, minced
3 cups cooked black beans
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup brown rice, cooked
1/4 cup salsa
salt

To Assemble

tortillas
shredded lettuce
shredded cheese
salsa
creme fraiche/sour cream
sliced spring onions or diced regular onion

Black Bean and Rice Burrito Recipe
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat, add the oil, then fry the chili powder, cumin, chipotle pepper, adobo, and garlic for a minute or so, then add the drained black beans and water.  Bring it to a boil, the simmer it for 8-10 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed.  Roughly mash the beans, then stir in the rice and salsa, add some salt, and heat it through.

Add some of the filling to a tortilla, add the toppings, and wrap it.  I like to finish my burritos on a grill pan to melt the cheese and crisp the tortilla a bit, but they’re perfectly delicious as-is.

My restless Aries spirit liked that idea, so I did what any girl in my position would do… I grabbed my cat, booked a one-way ticket to Denmark, and became an expat!
