Raspberry Chipotle Burritos image

This tasty little recipe was a gift from a friend. A bit smoky, a bit spicy, hearty and delicious.

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tsp vegetable oil
1 small onion
4 clove garlic
2 tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
2 pkg raspberries
1 chipotle pepper
raspberry, red wine or balsamic vinegar, to taste, optional
3 c black beans
2 c brown rice, cooked
tortillas
monterey jack cheese
fat free sour cream or plain yogurt
chopped fresh cilantro
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oil in a very large skillet over medium low.
  • 2. Add onions and garlic. Sprinkle over cumin and chili powder.
  • 3. Cook, stirring once in a while, until onions are transparent and the whole mixture brings husbands and neighbors over to investigate what smells so incredible.
  • 4. Add raspberries, mashed first if you want or break them up with the back of your spoon.
  • 5. Add chipotle pepper with a few spoonfuls of the adobo sauce they were canned in.
  • 6. Stir in beans and rice.
  • 7. Simmer until heated through. I used freshly cooked rice and beans so they were already warm and this step only lasted 1-2 minutes.
  • 8. Season to taste with salt, pepper and vinegar if desired.
  • 9. Sprinkle over some chopped cilantro.
  • 10. To assemble each burrito, spoon a bit of filling down the middle of a warmed tortilla. Top with a small amount of shredded monterey jack cheese and a bit of fat free sour cream or plain yogurt. Roll 'em up and enjoy!
