Steak Chipotle Burrito Recipes

Steps:

• For the dressing: Whiz together the olive oil, vinegar, lime juice, cumin, oregano, salt, dates, garlic and chipotle pepper in a blender until it's well combined and thick. This dressing is particularly thick, which I love, but if it feels to thick you can thin it out with a bit of water. Set dressing aside until you're ready to eat. There will be leftover dressing that you can keep for your next salad!
• For the steak and marinade: In the same blender (it's ok if there is a little dressing at the bottom), add the oil, cilantro, red onion, tomato paste, cumin seeds, dried chipotle pepper, salt, cayenne, pepper and garlic and blend until it's thick. Give it a taste, make sure you're happy with it and then pour it into a resealable plastic bag with the meat, refrigerate and marinate for at least 15 minutes and up to overnight.
• When you're ready to grill the steak, select a grill pan (or use an outdoor grill) and grill over a high heat until there are rich beautiful char marks, 4 minutes, and then flip and cook 2 to 4 minutes on the second side, depending on how rare you like your meat. For a medium rare, cook it 2 minutes, if you like it more well done, do 4 minutes. Allow the meat to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing into strips.
• For the roasted veggies: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• In a large mixing bowl combine the olive oil, dried chipotle pepper, coriander, cumin, oregano, black pepper and salt and give it a good mix. In batches, add the bell peppers, cauliflower and onion and toss to coat. Distribute the vegetables evenly between both baking sheets, leaving room between all the vegetables to ensure they don't steam while they roast. Roast until fully cooked and the peppers begin to char, 20 to 25 minutes.
• To assemble: Toss the lettuce and cabbage with a touch of salt and 2 tablespoons of dressing. Continue adding dressing until you're pleased with the taste of the greens. Put the greens at the bottom of 4 bowls, top with roasted veggies, steak and guacamole if using. Finish with a touch of cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime. If you're not prepping this dish for 4, just use what you need and put the rest in resealable containers for the next day.
• Combine the avocado, chives, white onion, lime juice and salt in a mixing bowl. I prefer the guacamole on the chunkier side, so I gently stir until combined, but you can also mash the avocado if you like it creamier.

Steps:

• For the chipotle steak: Add some olive oil to a large saucepan and fry the onions slowly until soft. Add the cumin, paprika and cinnamon and fry for about 1 minute. Add 1 cup water, the steak, chipotles and oregano and sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Give the whole thing a good stir.
• Bring the mixture to a boil and cook on a simmer for about 2 hours, checking that there's enough cooking liquid. Right at the end of cooking, stir in the dark chocolate.
• For assembling: Toast the tortillas in a large frying pan until slightly brown but not crispy (they still need to be pliable for wrapping). Add some Monterey Jack cheese as they're toasting to get it melting.
• One by one add the rice, beans, steak, cilantro, Guacamole, Habanero Hot Sauce, Tomato Salsa, lettuce and sour cream to each burrito, adding as much or as little as you prefer. Wrap up your burrito, and enjoy!
• Scoop the avocado flesh into a bowl and roughly mash. Mix in the cilantro, lime juice, garlic, onions, tomatoes and jalapenos. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and black pepper.
• Combine the chiles, lime juice, sugar and a drizzle of olive oil in a blender or food processor and blend until completely smooth.
• Mix together the tomatoes, chile if using, lime juice, red onions, Spanish onions, cilantro, sugar, salt and oil in a bowl. Give it a taste and add a little more lime and sugar if required.

Steps:

• Combine oregano, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper. Rub spice mixture over both sides of steak, along with the vegetable oil. Refrigerate while preparing your other ingredients.
• In a small bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeño, and 2 tablespoons of chopped cilantro.
• Drizzle the lime juice and oil over the top of warm rice, sprinkle with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro and salt; fluff with a fork.
• Heat a grill to medium-high. Coat grill grates with oil or nonstick spray. Cook steak for about 4 minutes per side, or to your liking. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes. Slice thinly against the grain.
• Warm tortillas over a gas burner or in the microwave for about 15 seconds. Place on a flat surface, evenly distribute the rice, then steak, topped with beans, the pico de gallo and sour cream. Fold the flap nearest you over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll burrito away from you, keeping it tight to form a log. Rest, seam side down.
• Serve with tortilla chips!
