PP or PS: Family Filling Mexican Breakfast Burritos

Chef:  Brandi Doming; Vegan 8
Prep Time:   10 minutes
Cook Time:  20 minutes
Total Time:  30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

Burrito

• 2 c chopped red or gold potatoes about ¼” size.  (you want them small so they fill burritos easily)
• 2 c chopped bell pepper strips about 2” long (a tri-color bag is great!)
• ¼ c water
• ½ t fine sea salt
• 1 c cooked chickpeas, drained and rinsed (if using canned)
• 1 c corn
• 1 c smooth salsa, not chunky ( I use mild or may too spicy for some)
• 1 t ground cumin
• ¼ t – 1/8 t ground chipotle chili pepper spice (optional for extra heat)

Avocado Cumin Cream (If you eliminate the cream, this recipe would be PP)

• 1 lg avocado
• ½ t ground cumin
• 2 T salsa
• ½ T water
• ¼ t fine sea salt
• Whole Grain Tortilla Wraps of your choice.  

Optional Garnish:  fresh chopped jalapenos

DIRECTIONS

1. First, you’ll need to roast your potatoes.  Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper, so they don’t stick.  Spread the chopped potatoes out evenly and season lightly with salt and pepper.  Mae sure you’ve chopped your potatoes about ¼” inch each.  Bae for 20 minutes until tender and starting to brown.  Make sure they are done by checking one with a fork.
2. While the potatoes are cooking, chop our bell peppers into 2” strips.  Get all your chickpeas, corn and spices ready.  When there is about 1- minutes left cooking for your potatoes, you can start to cook the bell peppers.  That way everything should be done the same time.
3. Add your bell peppers to a large pan with the ¼ c water.  Turn to medium heat and cook for 5-8 minutes until tender and the water is basically all evaporated.  Don’t move on to the next step until all the water has evaporated.
4. Add the chickpeas, corn, salsa, cumin and chipotle chile pepper (if using).  Stir well to coat everything.  Cook 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened up.
5. While the veggie mixture is cooking, prepare the avocado cumin cream by processing the ingredients either in a food processor or for faster results, I just used a hand immersion blender.  Blend until smooth.  Add more water if you want it thinner.
6. Add the cooked veggie mixture to your tortillas and drizzle the avocado cream inside and on top for presentation, if desired.  Add optional chopped jalapeno for garnish.   I loved the jalapeno, but left it off for my hubby and daughter.   The avocado cream is only good eaten right away, as it will turn brown.
7. You can wrap extra burritos tightly in foil (minus the avocado cream) and store them in the fridge.  Just reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 300 degrees F until warmed through.
