California Veggie Burrito
3 1/2 pounds ripe tomatoes
2 serrano Chiles
half an onion, peeled
2 garlic cloves
salt
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus a glug
half an onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 coups roughly chopped broccolini florets and tender stems
2 cups frozen or fresh peas
8 ounces spinach leaves
2 cans (or 3 1/2 cups) cooked black beans
large burrito tortillas
cooked white rice, seasoned with butter and salt
avocado
freshly grated cheddar and jack cheese
Preheat a cast-iron skillet over high heat for 5 minutes. Preheat the broiler.
Place the tomatoes, serrano, onion half and peeled garlic cloves in a single layer in the skillet and place it under the broiler. Allow it to char until the top is blackened all over, moving the skillet occasionally as needed. Deseed the Serrano for less heat.
Transfer the contents to a blender along with a glug of olive oil and a pinch of salt and blend until smooth. Transfer to a medium pot and bring to a simmer, then turn off and set aside.
In a large pot or dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Once it is shimmering, add the onion and some salt and cook until translucent. Stir in the dried oregano and paprika. Add the broccolini and peas and sweat them out with more salt, then add the spinach in batches. Season with salt and cook until tender then stir in the beans and cook until most of the liquid is evaporated out. Turn off heat. Season to taste with salt.
Warm the tortillas (as many as you want to cook) and return the sauce to a simmer, then layer in a little of the rice, followed by the veggies, cheese and avocado. Roll the tortilla and then place it on a foil-lined baking sheet or sizzle plate. Ladle the sauce over it, top with more cheese and broil until the cheese is melted.
Ladle more sauce onto the plate and lay the burrito on top. Eat immediately.

The Cook: Taste my food! The Spouse: I'm busy. Literally in the middle of doing something. The Cook: I don't care. TASTE IT!!! The Spouse: There I tasted the food! The Cook: Was it delicious? Tell me it was delicious. The Spouse: It was food. The cook, now in lowercase because depression: 😟

@@dontpanicpantry It's not an uncommon exchange in my household. I am 100% in the "Food is ART" camp and my husband is in the "food is something I need so I won't die" camp. While he appreciates good food, he has no love for the art of cooking.

Love the secret track at the end 😊

[@dontpanicpantry]

The totally on purpose secret track!

[@leovirgo4538]

That dry char is everything. I WILL be doing this!

[@dontpanicpantry]

Yes!

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

I made this tonight, it’s absolutely the best burrito I’ve ever had. I used to hate broccolini, and I never knew what to make with peas, thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@dontpanicpantry]

Oh that’s lovely!!

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Sorry, I really feel crazy, I’ve never commented more than once on one video in my life. I just ate this, and I don’t even believe how good it is. I was under the weather yesterday, and this made me feel so good. Thank you again.

[@dontpanicpantry]

That’s so nice to hear I really, really appreciate that!! Thank you!

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Looks great!

[@dontpanicpantry]

Thank you!

Watching while eating my gas station Bacon, Egg and Cheese (because it’s been that kind of morning)… Watching this video counts as a full serving of vegetables, right?

[@dontpanicpantry]

Haha absolutely

[@paged5092]

It’s bright!

[@dontpanicpantry]

Haha

[@dainasworldnumbers88]

Thank you for posting this. I’ve always been looking for a good wet veggie burrito. It reminds me of a restaurant I used to go to in college in Boulder called the Harvest. It was a very Hippie restaurant with great vegetarian options.

[@dontpanicpantry]

Oh fun!

[@FelisStella-HappyStar]

If Manuel's El Tepeyac had a veggie lumberjack on the menu this would be it! Drool... 🤤🤤🤤

[@dontpanicpantry]

Ooh

[@philipp594]

The fact that it needs the best "veggie" disclaimer would be clear indication to me, that this dish doesn't want to be vegetarian. There are dishes that are better vegan / vegetarian ...

[@dontpanicpantry]

If I wrote the best carnitas burrito what would it want to be?

[@amandaring2923]

This is the best breakfast burrito I’ve ever made. The sauce is absolutely killer. I added potatoes instead of peas because…don’t panic pantry! 🤍

[@dontpanicpantry]

Yum!! I’m so glad!!
