CALIFORNIA BURRITO



California Burrito image

Never heard of these until a surfer pal from San Diego introduced me to this culinary naughtiness. Pretty much a Mission street monster burrito where you replace the rice and beans with french fries.

Time 3h20m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks (marinated in Cilantro Lime marinade, cooked, and chopped)
1 tablespoon sour cream (to taste)
2 tablespoons guacamole (homemade or pre-made)
8 French fries (should be large, soft friesà not the hard, skinny kind)
8 ounces shredded cheddar cheese (to taste)
1 flour tortilla, per burrito
1 cup cilantro, lightly chopped
1 tablespoon lime juice
1/4 cup olive oil
3 garlic cloves
1 jalapeno, lightly chopped for un-spicy remove the seed
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Combine the Cilantro, Lime Juice, Olive oil, Garlic, Jalapeno, salt and pepper in a food processor for less than one minute or until the texture is nice and chunky. Be sure the garlic is fully processed. If you don't have a food processor you can make the marinade by dicing the cilantro, jalapenos and garlic very lightly and then mix the ingredients in a bowl with a fork.
  • Marinate the steak in the cilantro lime marinade for 2-3 hours in the fridge (*do not marinate overnight as the lime has begun the cevice process!).
  • Cook the steak. Lightly grease the grill grates of an outdoor grill. Heat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the steak from the marinade and season it on both sides (lightly) with salt and pepper. Cook the steak on the grill, flipping once, until the steak has reached your desired doneness. Once the steak has finished cooking, remove it from the grill and allow it to rest for 5 minutes. Slice the steak across the grain into thin slices.
  • Cook and salt the fries in the oven according to package directions, we want the big soft poofy fries, not the small hard little ones.
  • Warm the tortilla and lay it out on a flat surface. Place your toppings from one edge of the tortilla about 2/3 of the way to the other edge. Steak, cheese, guac. sour cream and top with the french fries (or your prefference) Don't stack your pile more than 1-2 inches wide and an inch high. If you fill your burrito too full, you might not be able to seal it.
  • Munch it!

Categories     Breakfast Burritos

Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste
6 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup milk
1 cup shredded pepper Jack cheese
6 large flour tortillas
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
¾ cup cooked vegan chorizo
½ cup prepared salsa verde
hot sauce or salsa, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spread sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season well with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
  • Roast sweet potatoes until tender and browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool to room temperature.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Whisk eggs and milk together in a medium bowl and season with salt and pepper. Pour eggs into pan and cook, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula, until they begin to set, about 2 to 3 minutes. Sprinkle cheese over eggs and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are no longer runny, 3 minutes more. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
  • Wrap tortillas in a dish cloth and microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until pliable. To assemble each burrito: Spread about ¼ cup sweet potatoes, ⅓ cup scrambled eggs, ¼ cup black beans and 2 tablespoons chorizo in a horizontal line across the middle of the tortilla, leaving about 2 inches on either side. Drizzle with 1 to 2 tablespoons salsa verde. Fold left and right sides over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom of the tortilla to form a burrito. Tightly wrap in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. Repeat with remaining tortillas, and freeze for up to 1 month. Alternatively, refrigerate for up to three days.
  • To serve: Remove burrito from plastic or foil and place on a plate in the microwave. Microwave on high for 4 to 5 minutes, until filling is hot and tortilla is tender. Serve immediately with your choice of hot sauce or salsa. If reheating from the refrigerator, microwave on high for 1 ½ to 2 minutes.
