Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, cut into 1/4-inch strips
- 2 cups cooked pinto beans, rinsed, or 2 large portobello mushrooms, chopped into bite-size pieces, or 2 cups cubed seitan
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 4 Anaheim chiles or any long green chile, pan-roasted and cut into strips (pan-roast the chiles while you caramelize the onion)
- 8 (6-inch) flour tortillas
- Hot sauce of your choice
- Chopped avocado
Method
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the onion and saute until well caramelized, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Remove the onions from the skillet and return the skillet to the heat.
- Add the filling of your choice (either the beans, mushrooms, or seitan).
- Pintos: Lower the heat to medium.
- Add the beans and garlic to the pan and saute for about 2 minutes.
- Season them with the salt and pepper, and then remove them from the heat.
- Portobellos: Keep the heat at medium-high.
- Add the portobellos to the pan and saute for 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add the garlic about 1 minute before you are done cooking the mushrooms.
- Season with salt and pepper and remove from the heat.
- Seitan: Keep the heat at medium-high.
- Add 1 more teaspoon of oil to the pan.
- Add the seitan and saute it for about 5 minutes, until it is well browned.
- Add the garlic and saute this for 1 more minute.
- Season the seitan with salt and pepper and remove it from the heat.
- Warm your tortillas.
- Add the filling, followed by the sliced roasted chiles, then the salsa, and a scattering of avocado.
- Make it Simple:
- Instead of pan-roasting the chiles, just remove the stems and seeds and cut them into strips.
- Add the chiles, onion, the garlic, the filling, salt, pepper, and oil to the pan all at the same time.
- Turn the pan to a medium heat and cook this until the onion is lightly browned.
- It will take you about 10 to 15 minutes to get everything done, but you don't have a bunch of different steps to take and you only need to stir the food every couple of minutes.
- Make It Low-Fat:
- You can cook the onions without adding any oil to the pan.
- Just saute them over a medium high heat in a dry pan, stirring them every minute or so.
- Once they are browned, add 1/4 cup of water to the pan, give everything a quick stir, and then add your filling of choice, along with the garlic, salt, and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to medium and cook until the filling is done, about 2 minutes for the beans, 3 minutes for the mushrooms, and 3 minutes for the seitan.
- How to Pan Roast:
- Turn a dry iron skillet or heavy pan to medium heat.
- Lay the chiles on the pan.
- When they blister on the bottom, flip them over and repeat until all sides are blistered.
- Peel the blistered skin away from the chiles and discard the stem and seeds.
