Barking Dog Burritos

4 (1) 90 min Serves 6 Mexican
An excellent alternative to beef or chicken burritos, these burritos have vegetables as the main ingredient. This vegetarian version of burritos uses steamed onion, broccoli, zucchini and tomatoes together with cheese and guacamole sauce. The burritos in this recipe are not baked but you can do it if you like. Assemble the burritos and bake for 10 minutes, add some more cheese on top and bake for some more, until the cheese melts. Serve as always with extra guacamole sauce and salsa. The burritos can be served as an appetizer or even a main dish.

Ingredients

  • 24 flour tortillas
  • 1 large onion, chopped
  • 1 lb broccoli (chopped)
  • 1/4 lb white mushrooms (chopped)
  • 4-5 zucchini squash, chopped
  • 2 large tomatoes, chopped
  • 3–4 cup grated cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese
  • Guacamole (see recipe below)
  • 1 cup salsa (mild, medium or hot, to taste)

Method

Make the avocado at least 1 hour before starting.

Steam the vegetables
Put the onion, broccoli, white mushrooms, zucchini and tomatoes in a large frying pan, sprinkle with water, cover and steam over medium heat for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil and warm tortillas in the oven for 5 to 10 minutes.

Divide the steamed vegetables equally among the tortillas, top with cheddar cheese, guacamole and salsa and roll up. Place burritos in a large dish and serve with extra cheese, guacamole and salsa.
