How To Make These Barbacoa Burritos
Step 1: Rice Cooker Prep and Flavorful Sauté
- Make the rice with the broth in a rice cooker. Finely dice the onion while the rice cooks.
- Heat the oil in a large pan over medium-high. Put 3/4 of the diced onions in the pan, reserving the rest for the beans. Mince the garlic, then add the garlic and sliced mushrooms to the pan.
Step 2: Flavorful Chipotle Infusion and Bean Creation
- Mince the chipotle peppers. Add 2 of the minced chipotles and tamari to the pan and stir well. Add the agave, cumin, paprika, oregano and liquid smoke. Cook until browned and softened, about 10 minutes, then reduce the heat to low. Squeeze the lime over the mushrooms before adding to the burritos.
- Make the beans. Heat the oil in a small saucepan. Add the remaining onion, cook for 1 to 2 minutes until semi-translucent. Drain and rinse the pinto beans. Add the pinto beans, green chiles, cumin, salt, garlic powder and remaining chipotle pepper. Stir and reduce heat to low.
Step 3: Fresh Garnish and Burrito Assembly
- Dice the tomato and chop the lettuce. Slice the avocados. Mince the cilantro. Moisten the tortillas slightly and warm them in the microwave for 15 to 20 seconds or on the stove.
- When the rice is finished, stir in the cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Build the burritos in a warm tortilla with a scoop of rice, pinto beans, portobello barbacoa, lettuce, tomato and avocado. Add the vegan cheez and yogurt. Wrap it up tight and stuff your face!
