topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic
  • 0.5 tsp chipotle chili powder + more to taste
  • 1 cup white rice
  • 1 can (425 g) black bean soup (preferably spicy)
  • 280g frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  • 2 cups frozen corn (preferably oven-baked), thawed
  • 1 large tomato, diced
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 4 wheat tortillas for burritos
  • 2 cups grated pepper jack cheese (about 220 g)

Preparation:

  1. In a blender, puree most of the cilantro, reserving 3 tablespoons, with 2 cups water, garlic, chipotle chili powder, and 3/4 teaspoon salt until smooth. Transfer to a medium saucepan along with the rice and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the liquid is absorbed, about 18 minutes. Remove the lid, stir, and let the rice cool for 5 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring the black bean soup to a boil and simmer until slightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Add the spinach and return to a simmer. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
  3. In a large bowl, combine corn, tomato, lime juice, reserved 3 tablespoons cilantro, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and chili powder to taste.
  4. Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Spread the rice, bean mixture, and cheese evenly among the tortillas; top with a little corn salsa. Fold the bottom of the tortilla over, then fold the sides inward and roll up. Serve with the remaining corn salsa.
