The Best Beef and Veggie Burrito

After a big lunch on Sunday afternoon, I didn’t feel like making a big meal for dinner. Watching movies and popcorn just changes the mood for me. So I had to come up with something quick, simple, and rather easy on the stomach. I love tortillas, and with all the tortilla recipes I have, this Beef and Veggie Burrito recipe is always my go-to meal option when I’m not in a cooking mood.

TO MAKE THE BURRITO:

• 1.5 pounds ground beef (minced beef)
• ¾ large carrots - chopped
• 1 large onion - sliced
• 1 large green pepper - chopped
• 1 large red pepper - chopped
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes - or grape tomatoes cut in halves
• 6 large flour tortillas
• 1 ½ tablespoons Vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1.5 teaspoons salt
• ½ teaspoon red pepper (red capsicum)
• 1 ½ cups cheddar cheese - grated

TO MAKE THE SAUCE:

• 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1.5 tablespoons white wine - or balsamic vinegar
• 1.5 teaspoons sesame oil
• 3 teaspoons garlic - minced
• 2 teaspoons ginger - minced

Instructions

 

• Heat your pan and spray with some vegetable oil, about 1.5 tablespoons for this recipe or as much/as little as you prefer. Cook ground beef until well browned and no longer pink, seasoning with the black pepper, red pepper and seasoned salt.
• Add chopped carrots, peppers, sliced onions, and cook for about 3 minutes.
• Add halved tomatoes and cook for about half a minute.
• Mix all ingredients for the sauce and set aside
• Warm the tortilla wraps in a grill or microwave or in a pan on low heat
• Serve hot, taking a scoop or two of the beef mixture and placing it on one side of the wrap. Add a tablespoon or so of the corn. Sprinkle some cheese, pour some sauce over the mixture, wrap it.

Notes

• You can substitute white wine/balsamic vinegar with rice wine vinegar
• Instead of making the sauce, you can buy some ready-made salsa from the store. It works great as well
• You could add a tablespoon of sour cream to the wrap if you love sour cream. It is, of course, delicious.
