Saucy Skillet Burrito

ingredients

  •  3 - 4 Alpha Burritos 

  • 1,5 poblano peppers, seeded, stems removed and chopped

  • ¼ cup red onion

  • 2 tbsp butter

  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

  • 3 tbsp flour

  • 1 cup vegetable broth 

  • ½ cup milk 

  • ⅓ cup vegan cheese 

  • ¼ cup cilantro, chopped 

  • Salt and pepper

instructions

Cook burritos for 5 minutes less than package instructions. While the burritos are in the oven, make the sauce.

Melt ½ tbsp butter in a saucepan under medium heat. Add peppers, onion and garlic. Sautee for about 10 minutes or until poblano peppers are soft and lightly browned. Add the rest of the butter and flour along with vegetable broth. Whisk quickly to avoid clumps. Cook under heat for 5 minutes or until thickened. Wait until slightly cool then add to a blender or food processor and puree until smooth. Pour back in the pot and add milk, cheese + salt and pepper. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Mix in cilantro when it’s done cooking.

Arrange burritos in a deeper skillet or oven safe dish. Pour the sauce over burritos, add a little extra cheese and cook for 5 minutes at 400F. Remove burritos from the oven and top with fresh tomatoes, extra cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.

Enjoy!
