Cauliflower Chorizo Burritos Recipes

BEAN, CAULIFLOWER AND CHEESE BURRITOS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy saute pan over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the cauliflower and saute until tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the oregano. Turn the heat off and reserve. Heat a large heavy griddle. Working in batches, heat the tortillas one at a time until they are soft and pliable, about 1 minute per side. Add 2 tablespoons of warm Chorizo Refried Beans to the center of the tortilla, spreading outward to the sides. Add 1 tablespoon of the sauteed cauliflower mixture. Add 1 tablespoon of cheese. Fold in the edges and roll to form a burrito. Return to the griddle just for the cheese to melt, about 10 seconds. Serve warm.
• Heat a medium saute pan on medium heat. Add the chorizo and cook until golden in color, about 6 minutes. Remove the chorizo to a drain on a plate lined with some paper towels. Add the onions to the pan with the chorizo fat. Saute until the onions are translucent, about 4 minutes. Return the chorizo to the pan. Add the refried beans to the mixture. Continue cooking for about 5 minutes. Turn the heat off and reserve for tostadas and burritos.

ROASTED CAULIFLOWER BURRITO

Steps:

• For the roasted vegetable filling: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms, chickpeas, olive oil, curry powder, cumin, 2 teaspoons salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Mix well to coat evenly. Spread the vegetables in a large roasting pan and roast until browned and lightly charred around the edges, about 20 minutes. (The cauliflower should still have a bite to it.) Keep warm.
• To assemble the burritos: Slightly heat up a tortilla in a large pan or over the open flame of a burner (this also helps prevent it from cracking when you roll it up). Smear a little of the Spicy Refried Beans down the middle. Add a pile of the roasted vegetables, then roll the end of the tortilla over the top of the filling, folding over both ends to hold the filling in place. Continue to roll over to form a tight log shape. Heat the canola in a large pan over medium heat. Place the burritos seam-side down in the pan and cook until golden brown and sealed, 1 to 2 minutes. Top each burrito with a heaping spoonful of Spicy Peach Chutney, then a handful of cabbage, then some onion. Add queso fresco and yogurt to taste, if using. Serve with an extra side of Spicy Refried Beans and Spicy Peach Chutney.
• Combine the peaches, turbinado sugar, apple cider vinegar, red onion, raisins, mustard seeds, ginger root, garam masala, turmeric, jalapenos, Fresno chile and garlic in a deep pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered with the lid slightly ajar, until all the excess liquid boils away and it has a thick, jam-like texture, 45 to 60 minutes. Cool completely and store in an air-tight jar or container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
• Soak the beans in water overnight.
• Set a pressure cooker on medium-high heat and add the oil. Add the onions and cook until translucent, 5 minutes. Add the garlic and jalapenos and cook until fragrant, 3 minutes. Add the cumin, drained beans, 2 tablespoons salt and 12 cups water. Cover with the lid and cook until the beans are tender, 30 to 45 minutes. Remove half of the beans and puree them in a blender with some of the liquid from the pot until completely smooth. Return the pureed beans to the pot with the remaining beans and mix together. Taste for seasoning and serve.

CAULIFLOWER RICE BURRITO BOWL

Steps:

• Place cauliflower in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until cauliflower is very finely chopped and resembles quinoa. Heat a large cast iron skillet over high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, swirl to coat, and add cauliflower. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring only occasionally, until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes. Scrape into two serving bowls and top with lime zest. Return skillet to heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add red pepper, onions, and jalapeno or serrano. Season with salt and pepper and cook until softened on medium-high heat, about 4 minutes. Add cumin seeds, toss to coat, and continue to cook until seeds are just toasted, about 30 seconds.
• Divide mixture between serving bowls. In a small bowl, combine beans, lime juice, and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and divide between serving bowls. Add avocado, herbs, yogurt or sour cream, and salsa to serving bowls, dividing evenly. Serve.
