Smoky Tangy Chipotle Lime Burritos

April 3, 2018 by Kristina Sloggett 11 Comments

Smoky Tangy Chipotle Lime Burritos are packed with layers of flavor and texture. these rolled up handhelds are quick and easy and supremely satisfying with beans and rice and peppers, oh my! a generous drizzle of Smoky Tangy Cream NOT optional.

Smoky Tangy Chipotle Lime Burritos

As you can see from the varied photos, we make this burrito often. The fillings are simple and so quick to make large batches for lunch all week. I say the sauce is not optional because that is where the real tasty flavor is!

Depending on the day, the sauce is a deeper orange. This is entirely based on the amount of actual chipotle pepper I may have added to the sauce… since we use the canned chipotle in adobo so often, I generally have some in the fridge. I’ll add a whole pepper and / or some adobo sauce for extra spicy flavor.

I will make a …

I almost tagged this recipe in the breakfast category.

You know those dishes that you love so much, you wake up thinking about the leftovers?

No?

That’s just me? Okay.

We are so loving this Tofu Paneer Tikka Masala that immediately after making the first batch, I was wishing I had doubled it.

That is exactly what I did the second time I made this – I doubled it. Then I invited my mom over for lunch.

*insert big smiley face*

This epic flavor comes from Chloe’s latest book, Chloe Flavor: Saucy, Crispy, Spicy, Vegan. This one boasts 125 vegan recipes with a focus on simplicity in the steps, big flavor in the food.

From the several recipes I have already tried and the vast number we are planning to try, I’d say she has nailed it on both simplicity and flavor! Chloe created a waffle recipe for her boyfriend, and the Strawberry Butter is the tasty standout there. Wow, really – so simple and so good.

The No Huevos Rancheros and the Lime Sour Cream were our first tastes of the book, which we loved as a Breakfast for Dinner situation. Word ~~on the street~~ in a NYC building is, …
