Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 cups precut peeled butternut squash (about 1 pound), diced
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large red onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 15-ounce can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups frozen brown rice, thawed (or prepared brown rice)
8 large eggs
4 burrito-size flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
2 to 3 teaspoons chopped pickled jalapenos
Fresh salsa, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the squash, 1/2 cup water and a pinch of salt in a large microwave-safe bowl; cover with plastic wrap and pierce to vent. Microwave, stirring once, until just tender, 15 minutes; drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring, until soft, 5 minutes; stir in the chili powder. Add the beans, rice and 1/2 cup water and simmer, stirring, until the liquid evaporates, about10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
  • Wipe out the skillet. Lightly beat the eggs in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in the skillet over medium heat, then add the eggs and cook, stirring, until they start setting. Fold in the squash and cook until the eggs are set.
  • Warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or in the microwave. Divide the rice mixture, scrambled eggs, cheese and jalapenos among the tortillas. Fold up the bottoms, then fold in the sides and roll up. Serve with salsa.

Make-it-don't-buy-it Frozen Vegetarian Burritos image

If you're in a rush, wrap your frozen burrito in parchment paper and microwave on high 4 to 5 minutes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup brown rice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 teaspoons chile powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
One 15-ounce can black beans, drained and rinsed
10 ounces frozen butternut squash chunks (not thawed)
Kosher salt
5 ounces baby spinach (about 8 loose cups)
Six 10-inch whole wheat flour tortillas or wraps
1 cup reduced-fat shredded Cheddar
Hot sauce
Nonstick cooking spray, for spraying burritos (if reheating in the oven)
Serving suggestions: reduced-fat sour cream, salsa, guacamole, optional

Steps:

  • Cook the brown rice according to the package directions. Transfer to a large bowl and cool completely.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the tomato paste, chile powder and cumin and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the black beans, squash, 1 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer and cook until the beans are soft and most of the liquid has reduced but the mixture is still slightly saucy, 8 to 10 minutes. Add the spinach, in batches if needed, and fold in until wilted. Allow to cool completely.
  • Lay the tortillas out on a clean work surface. Put 1/2 cup of the rice in the center of each tortilla, about 1 inch from the edges, and top with about 1/2 cup of the bean filling. Sprinkle each with 2 heaping tablespoons Cheddar, and add a few dashes of hot sauce. Fold the edge nearest to you over the filling, fold in the sides and finish rolling up. Wrap tightly first in plastic wrap and then in foil, and freeze for up to 2 weeks.
  • To reheat in a microwave: Wrap the frozen burrito in parchment paper and microwave on high until hot in the center, 4 to 5 minutes.
  • For the crunchy oven method: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray each side of the burrito generously with cooking spray and place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Cook until golden and crispy on the outside and hot inside, turning about halfway through, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Serve with reduced-fat sour cream, salsa and guacamole if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, ripe black beans and butternut squash for the best flavor and texture. Look for black beans that are firm and plump, and butternut squash that is firm and has a deep orange color.
  • Cook the black beans properly: Rinse the black beans thoroughly before cooking. You can either cook them in a pot on the stovetop or in a slow cooker. If you're cooking them on the stovetop, bring them to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about an hour, or until they are tender. If you're using a slow cooker, cook them on low for about 8 hours.
  • Roast the butternut squash: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut the butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Drizzle the squash with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place the squash cut-side up on a baking sheet and roast for about 45 minutes, or until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
  • Assemble the burritos: Spread a tortilla with black beans, butternut squash, rice, cheese, and your favorite toppings. Fold the sides of the tortilla in and roll it up tightly. You can either serve the burritos immediately or store them in the refrigerator for later.

Black bean and butternut squash burritos are a delicious and satisfying meal that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
