Title: Burritos (Halal)
Post by: Ruhi_Rose on February 22, 2007, 06:14:20 pm
 BismEm


Ingredients

1 can black beans or kidney beans
1 lb. ground beef or turkey or boneless chicken
A few chopped mild green chillies
1 onion, chopped fine
2-3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. chili powder
1 tsp. oregano
8 oz. bag shredded cheddar cheese or smaller
8 burrito-size flour tortillas


Method

Brown the ground meat in a skillet. In a large bowl, mix all the ingredients, except the shredded cheese, including the browned meat. Spread one-third to half cup filling in a line down the center of each tortilla and sprinkle with a couple tbsp. of shredded cheese. Roll up, tucking the ends in neatly so the filling won't leak out when you sauté them. Brown on both sides in a lightly oiled or "Pammed" skillet, seam side down first so they won't unroll when you turn them. Stack on a plate with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. (Not necessary if you use Pam.) Serve hot, room temperature (best, I think), or cold.  For vegetarian burritos, simply omit the ground beef.

* Notes: These burritos are a cross between a burrito and a chimichanga. They are not deep-fried, but browned on a lightly greased griddle or skillet. Or use Pam cooking oil spray. The browning gives the flour tortillas a nice flavor. Don't be put off by the seemingly long list of ingredients. (Can-opening goes fast!) These are very tasty, though not a traditional Mexican burrito.

This is one thing I always prefer homemade with my own kind of seasoning.  When I'm short of time I do sometimes take home burritos from certain Halal food outlets .. usually Popeyes.  But these aren't as nice as my ones  :)  Hope to try out your recipe some day, InshAllah.
