45 minThis is what happens when Indian sabzi and Tex-Mex burritos collide, and honestly, why didn’t someone think of this sooner?
Cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms, onion, and celery get braised in chicken broth with cumin, curry powder, coriander, cinnamon, garlic, cilantro, and a minced jalapeno for heat. The vegetables cook until meltingly tender and fragrant with warm spices.
Warm flour tortillas in a dry skillet, sprinkle with Monterey Jack until it starts to melt, then spoon the spiced vegetables down the center. Top with fresh diced tomatoes and a cool dollop of sour cream, roll it up burrito-style, and dig in.
Kitchen Tips
- Brown the mushrooms first before adding everything else. That initial sear adds a deep, savory backbone to the whole dish.
- Cut the potatoes into small, even cubes so they cook at the same rate as the cauliflower.
- Use vegetable broth instead of chicken to keep this fully vegetarian. The spices carry more than enough flavor on their own.
Ingredients
Directions
In a large heavy pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Add mushrooms and sauté until they release their juices and begin to brown.
Stir in cauliflower, potatoes, onion, celery, jalapeno, cilantro, cumin, curry, garlic, salt, coriander, cayenne, cinnamon and broth.
Cover the pot and braise the mixture over medium heat for about 20 to 30 minutes, or until the vegetables are very tender.
To serve, heat the flour tortillas one at a time in a dry skillet until they are soft and pliable, turning once.
Sprinkle with a little of the grated cheese and keep the tortilla in the pan until the cheese begins to melt.
Have each diner spoon some of the vegetable mixture down the center of a tortilla, then top with diced fresh tomatoes and a dollop of sour cream.
To eat, roll the tortilla around the filling, burrito fashion.
