My husband and I love these burritos, and I usually serve them with the guacamole recipe below. I prefer to use ground bison instead of beef. It is leaner, and I find that the flavor melds well with the spices.
Ingredients:
Buffalo Filling:
1 Pound ground buffalo
1 small chopped onion
1 tbsp olive oil, plus additional for searing
1 tsp turmeric
1 tsp cumin
2 tbsp chili powder
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/8 tsp pepper
3/4 tbsp salt
1 Package Whole Wheat Tortillas (I use Manny’s)
1 Can Vegetarian Refried Beans
Sharp Vermont Cheddar Cheese
Put the meat in a hot, dry pot. Cook until most of the meat in browned. Add chopped onion and 1 tbsp of olive oil and salt and pepper.
When then onion is translucent, add the spices and stir well.
When it is combined, allow it to cool slightly.
To assemble the burritos put about 2 tbsp of refried beans down the middle of the tortilla, add about 3 tbsp of meat filling and the desired amount of cheese. Fold the top and bottom edges first and them fold the sides. I used a small amount of the refried beans to seal the side.
Heat a very small amount of olive oil in a small pan (just enough to coat the bottom of the pan). Add the burritos to the oil and sear until brown on each side.
I serve this with guacamole, salsa and sour cream
