Instructions

  1. Wash and dry all produce. In a small pot, combine rice, 1¼ cups water (2¼ cups for 4 servings) and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. Keep covered off heat until ready to use in Step 4.
  2. While rice cooks, dice the tomato. Roughly chop the cilantro. Mince the jalapeño, removing ribs and seeds for less heat. Halve, peel and finely chop the onion. Zest and quarter the lime. In a small bowl, combine tomato, cilantro, half the jalapeño, 2 tablespoons onion (4 tablespoons for 4 servings) and a squeeze of lime juice to taste. Season with salt and pepper. In a separate small bowl, combine sour cream with a squeeze of lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Add water 1 teaspoon at a time until mixture reaches a drizzling consistency.
  3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat. Add remaining jalapeño, remaining onion and a pinch of salt. Cook until veggies are browned and softened, 1-2 minutes. Add the black beans and their liquid, stock concentrate, Southwest Spice Blend, salt (we used ½ teaspoon; 1 teaspoon for 4 servings) and pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until liquid has reduced, 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat.
  4. Fluff the rice with a fork; stir in 1 tablespoon butter (2 tablespoons for 4 servings) and lime zest to taste. Season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, break half the tortilla chips into bite-size pieces over a medium bowl (keep the rest whole for serving). Wrap tortillas in damp paper towels; microwave until warm and pliable, 30 seconds.
  5. Lay tortillas on a clean work surface. Place ⅓ cup rice in a line on the bottom third of each tortilla. Top rice with ½ cup bean mixture (you’ll have some rice and beans left over-save for serving); sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese. Top with a drizzle of crema, a bit of pico de gallo and crushed tortilla chips. Fold up bottom side of each tortilla over filling, then fold over left and right sides toward the filling. Roll up tortillas, starting with filled sides, to form burritos. Tip: For less mess, place each tortilla on a large piece of aluminum foil before rolling, then wrap up with foil. Simply unwrap as you eat!
  6. Halve the burritos. Divide burritos and remaining rice, bean mixture, lime crema, pico de gallo and tortilla chips between plates. Serve with hot sauce and any remaining lime wedges on the side.

Recipe Tips

For less mess when rolling burritos, place each tortilla on a large piece of aluminum foil before adding fillings, then wrap the foil around the rolled burrito. Unwrap as you eat.

Adjust the heat by removing jalapeño seeds and ribs for a milder flavor or leave them in for extra spice.

If you have leftover filling, serve it with the extra tortilla chips for dipping.

FAQ

Can I use a different type of tortilla?

Yes, you can substitute flour tortillas with corn tortillas or whole wheat tortillas, but the texture and pliability may vary. Warm them before rolling to prevent cracking.

Can I make these burritos ahead of time?

You can prepare the fillings in advance and assemble the burritos just before serving. If you need to store assembled burritos, wrap them tightly in foil and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet or oven before eating.

What can I use instead of sour cream for the lime crema?

Greek yogurt or a dairy-free yogurt alternative can be used in place of sour cream for a similar tangy crema.
