Emeril's Super Soy Burritos

YIELD 8 burritos

INGREDIENTS

8 (12‑inch) flour tortillas, lightly toasted and kept warm until ready to use
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 (6 ounce) containers vegetable protein strips, such as "Steak Style Veggie Strips"
1 red pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced into
1/4‑inch strips
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 jalapeno, stemmed, seeded and minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon ancho chili powder
1/8 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 cups chopped Swiss chard
2 cups cooked black beans
2 cups cooked yellow rice
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 cup tofu sour cream
Salsa, for serving
Pickled jalapenos, for serving
Lime wedges, for garnish

PREPARATION:

Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Wrap the stack of tortillas in foil, place on top of a baking sheet and then transfer them to the oven to keep warm.
  2. Set a 10-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, place the steak strips, the bell pepper, red onion and jalapeno in the pan. Sauté the vegetables and strips until soft, 4 to 6 minutes. Season with salt, cumin, ancho, chipotle and black pepper. Add the black beans and Swiss chard and sauté another minute or two. Remove the vegetables from the pan and set aside until ready to use.
  3. Serve the burritos warm with salsa, pickled jalapenos and a lime wedge for garnish.

    Editor's Note: Look for organic, locally-grown vegetables, or try growing your own.
