Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 burritos
Ingredients
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 can chili (vegan)
- 1 cup vegan cheese
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup sour cream (vegan)
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large flour tortillas, 1 can of vegan chili, 1 cup of vegan cheese, 1/2 cup of diced onions, 1/2 cup of diced tomatoes, and 1/4 cup of vegan sour cream.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the canned vegan chili over medium heat. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even heating. This should take about 5-7 minutes until the chili is warmed through.
- While the chili is heating, prepare your toppings. Dice the onions and tomatoes if you haven't done so already. Set them aside for assembly.
- Once the chili is heated, remove it from the heat and set it aside. In a separate skillet, warm the flour tortillas over medium-low heat for about 30 seconds on each side, just until they are pliable.
- To assemble the burritos, take one warmed tortilla and place a generous spoonful of the heated vegan chili in the center.
- Sprinkle about 1/4 cup of vegan cheese over the chili, followed by a tablespoon of diced onions and a tablespoon of diced tomatoes.
- For added creaminess, add a dollop of vegan sour cream on top of the vegetables.
- To wrap the burrito, fold in the sides of the tortilla and then roll it up from the bottom to the top, ensuring all the fillings are securely enclosed.
- Repeat the assembly process for the remaining tortillas and fillings until all four burritos are made.
- If desired, you can place the assembled burritos back in the skillet over medium heat for 1-2 minutes on each side to crisp them up slightly and melt the cheese.
- Once done, remove the burritos from the skillet and let them cool for a minute before serving.
- Serve your Chili Cheese Burritos with extra vegan sour cream, diced onions, or diced tomatoes on the side for dipping or topping.
Tips
- Ingredient Prep: To save time, prepare all your toppings—diced onions, tomatoes, and vegan sour cream—before you start cooking the chili. This way, assembly will be a breeze!
- Chili Variations: Feel free to customize your burrito by adding other ingredients to the chili, such as black beans, corn, or bell peppers for extra flavor and texture.
- Tortilla Warm-Up: Warming the tortillas not only makes them pliable but also enhances their flavor. Don’t skip this step!
- Crispy Finish: For an extra crunch, after assembling the burritos, briefly pan-fry them in a skillet for 1-2 minutes on each side until they’re golden brown and the cheese is melted.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your burritos with a side of tortilla chips and homemade guacamole for a complete meal that’s sure to impress!
