Description:
A versatile and flavorful veggie burrito recipe passed down by my dad, where each rendition is unique due to his improvisational style of cooking. Spice measurements may vary, as I tend to follow in his footsteps, relying on intuition rather than precise quantities.
Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion
- 1 red bell pepper
- 1/2 zucchini
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/8 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 clove fresh garlic
- 1 can beans
- 4 slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 tortillas
Instructions:
-
Heat the Pan: Place a large frying pan over medium-high heat and add a quarter-sized drop of olive oil.
-
Sauté Onion and Bell Pepper: Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onion and red bell pepper to the pan. Cook, stirring often, for approximately 7-10 minutes, or until they are almost cooked to perfection.
-
Add Zucchini and Spices: Incorporate the diced zucchini, turmeric, cumin, cayenne pepper, and salt into the pan. Cook for an additional 5 minutes or until the zucchini and squash are tender.
-
Introduce Garlic and Beans: Add the minced garlic (if using fresh, cook for 2-3 minutes) and the beans to the pan. Cook until the mixture is warmed through, allowing the flavors to meld deliciously.
-
Prepare the Tortillas: Lay out the tortillas and place three slices of mozzarella cheese on each one.
-
Assemble the Burritos: Spoon the warm bean and vegetable mixture over the cheese, distributing it evenly. Carefully fold up the tortillas into burritos, securing the fillings inside.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Plate the veggie burritos and serve them piping hot, savoring each bite of this delightful and wholesome meal.
