Description
A smothered burrito is a burrito that is covered (or ’smothered‘) in a savory sauce, such as enchilada sauce or jalapeño sour cream, and often baked until warm and melty. This version features a hearty filling of sautéed mushrooms and black beans, wrapped in a tortilla, and topped with a zesty jalapeño sour cream sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crimini or portobello mushrooms, diced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (Monterey Jack or cheddar, optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 jalapeño, minced (seeds removed for less heat)
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 cup enchilada sauce or red sauce (for smothering)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Sauté onion and garlic until soft. Add mushrooms and cook until browned.
- Stir in black beans, cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5 minutes.
- Warm tortillas. Divide filling among tortillas, add cheese if using, and fold burritos tightly.
- Place burritos seam-side down in a baking dish. Pour enchilada sauce over top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until heated through and sauce is bubbly.
- For the jalapeño sour cream sauce, mix sour cream, jalapeño, lime juice, and cilantro.
- Drizzle sauce over baked burritos before serving.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use plant-based sour cream and cheese.
- Serve with extra toppings like avocado, salsa, or fresh cilantro.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- To freeze, assemble burritos without sauce and wrap individually. Thaw before baking and smothering.
