We started making these (and all kinds of other burritos) when we were craving some rubios/chipotle/santanas/robertos, and realized that there aren't any around here, nor is there anything remotely similar. We also then realized that we were pretty talented in other areas of cooking, so why not some good ol homemade burritos that blow your minds? We served these to my French in-laws, and they can't wait until we come back to make them for them again.
1. boil the rice first. Do the rest while its cooking. I like to squirt some lemon juice in my rice. you can also put the can of beans on low heat so they'll be ready.
2. marinate the fish fillets in some lemon/lime juice, drizzled olive oil, a little cilantro, paprika, chili powder, pepper, garlic salt, onion powder, and the chopped tomato.
3. while the fish is marinating, make the guacamole: mash up your avocado, pour in 1 tsp whipping cream, a squeeze of lemon, some black pepper, a little cilantro.
4. to make your "white sauce", mix the yogurt in a bowl with the mayo, some black pepper, shake of cumin, and little shake of cayenne. haven't you always wondered what was in that white sauce at rubios?
5.chop your onion and bell pepper and sautee in a pan with 1-2 tbsp EVOO for a few minutes
6. hurry up and chop your other veggies so they'll be ready: cabbage, serrano, green onions...
7. take your onions and bell peppers out, and replace with the marinating fish and its juices and cook until tender.
8. heat your tortillas, place on foil, and add your fillet of fish, a little rice, a little beans, and the toppings of your choice: sauteed bell peppers and onions, cilantro, green onions, cabbage, serrano, white sauce, guacamole, cheese, and your own salsa of preference if you want.
9. have your burrito roller roll them up in the foil so that you can actually eat it without it coming apart! Serve with a wedge of lemon and ENJOY!
This seems like a lot of work, but it took me about 35 minutes last night to do this.
