Time 30m

Yield 20 approx. mini burritos, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/3 lb ground beef (or ground turkey, chicken, bison, etc.)
1/3-1/2 small onion, chopped
1/3 small green pepper, chopped
1 -2 garlic clove, minced
2 -3 tablespoons taco seasoning mix

1/3 cup salsa
20 wonton wrappers
2 cups shredded cheese (I like Colby-Jack)
cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Brown ground meat, adding onion, pepper, and garlic about halfway through the browning process.
  • Add taco seasoning, cumin, salsa, and a small amount or water (1/3 cup or less) when meat has browned and allow to simmer over medium heat until mixture is dry.
  • Remove meat from heat.
  • Lay 4-6 wonton wrappers out and place one pinch of cheese and one level spoonful of meat mixture in each wrapper.
  • Use your finger to wet 2 sides of the wrapper and fold into a triangle or rectangle shape (the shape doesn't matter- it's up to you!).
  • DO NOT OVERFILL!
  • Place filled wontons onto greased baking sheet or jelly roll.
  • Repeat filling until out of meat mixture.
  • Place in oven and bake for 10 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, sprinkle cheese over top, and replace in oven for additional 5 minutes or until cheese has melted and wontons are crisp on the edges.
  • ENJOY! (I top mine with hot sauce and dip in sour cream and salsa like a nacho).

BURRIQUITAS (MINI BURRITOS)



Burriquitas (Mini Burritos) image

These are perfect for parties, watching the big game on T.V. or poker night. You can also make a batch and store in Ziplocs in the fridge to reheat for quick meals or snacks. The epazote is available at Penzeys.com (we have a store here in Winter Park, FL) but there are so many flavors here that it's not critical to the recipe.

Time 55m

Yield 25 mini burritos

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb ground beef or 1 lb turkey
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
3 ounces tequila
4 tablespoons epazote (a Mexican spice)
2 ancho chilies, chopped finely ("Anaheim" preferred)
1/2 cup taco seasoning, plus
1 tablespoon taco seasoning
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 tablespoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 ounce hot sauce
20 ounces water
8 ounces sour cream
1 (14 ounce) can salsa verde (green salsa)
3 cups sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
2 cups Minute Rice
25 (8 inch) flour tortillas (thick and fresh so they won't break when rolled)

Steps:

  • Dump the beans, tequila and epazote into a saucepan and begin simmering over low heat. Stir occasionally.
  • Mix the taco seasoning, cocoa, and black pepper in a bowl.
  • In a large four-quart pot, brown the meat and then add the water and taco seasoning mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to simmer, and add the chopped chilies and hot sauce. Stir and simmer for 15 minutes.
  • In the meantime, put the beans, sour cream, and salsa into a blender and puree the mixture. It should have a smooth consistency when you are done.
  • Pour the blender contents into the pot and heat on medium-low. Add the cheese and let it melt. Simmer and stir for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and mix the Minute Rice into the pot. Let this stand for about 5 minutes.
  • Pre-heat oven to 350°.
  • Scoop about 2 ounces of the filling right down the middle of a tortilla. Gently fold the tortilla over, fold the right edge in, and then roll again. Place onto foil covered cookie sheets. Continue until the cookie sheets are full, but do not layer.
  • Bake for 15 minutes and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas: Use small, soft tortillas that are pliable and easy to roll. Corn or flour tortillas can be used, depending on your preference.
  • Keep the fillings simple: Don't overcrowd the burriquitas with too many fillings. A few simple, flavorful ingredients will do the trick.
  • Cook the fillings thoroughly: Make sure all of the fillings are cooked through before assembling the burriquitas. This will help to prevent foodborne illness.
  • Roll the burriquitas tightly: Roll the burriquitas tightly so that they hold together well. If they are too loose, they will fall apart when you fry them.
  • Fry the burriquitas until golden brown: Fry the burriquitas in hot oil until they are golden brown and crispy. This will give them a delicious flavor and texture.
  • Serve the burriquitas with your favorite toppings: Serve the burriquitas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, guacamole, or pico de gallo.

Conclusion:

Burriquitas are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
