Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 package (10 ounces) frozen cooked winter squash, thawed
2 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 package (10 ounces) frozen leaf spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
Coarse salt and ground pepper
4 flour tortillas (10-inch)
5 ounces fresh goat cheese, crumbled

Steps:

  • In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add onion, garlic, and cumin; cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is tender, 5 to 6 minutes.

  • Stack tortillas, and wrap in a double layer of damp paper towels; microwave until hot, about 2 minutes. Place tortillas on a work surface. Spoon goat cheese, then salsa in a line down center of each tortilla.

Tips:

  • Prepare the vegetables properly: Before cooking, ensure the squash and zucchini are properly cleaned, trimmed, and cut into uniform sizes. This will help them cook evenly and maintain their texture.
  • Use a large skillet or griddle: A large cooking surface will allow you to cook the vegetables in a single layer, preventing overcrowding and ensuring even cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent them from steaming instead of sautéing, resulting in soggy vegetables.
  • Season the vegetables well: Don't be afraid to season the vegetables generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will enhance their flavor and make them more enjoyable.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: Squash and zucchini cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Overcooked vegetables become mushy and lose their vibrant color.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings for your burritos. Some popular options include black beans, corn, bell peppers, and cheese.
  • Serve immediately: Squash and zucchini burritos are best served immediately after preparation. This ensures that the vegetables retain their鮮脆 texture and the tortillas stay warm and pliable.

Conclusion:

Squash and zucchini burritos are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are packed with healthy vegetables and can be customized with a variety of fillings and toppings. By following these tips, you can create a mouthwatering burrito that is sure to please everyone at your table.
