For the Burritos
- 2 recipes BBQ Pulled Jackfruit
- 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice
- 1 ¾ cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
- ½ lime
- 1 recipe Creamy Chipotle Sauce (recipe below)
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- ½ to 1 cup guacamole*
- 2 large romaine leaves, washed, patted dry, and finely shredded
- 4 extra large burrito flour tortillas (we're talking Chipotle size)
Begin making the pulled jackfruit (skipping the part about toasting the buns/serving over buns). Make sure to double the recipe!
While the jackfruit simmers, cook the rice. Add the rice, water, and sea salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 more minutes. Fluff with a fork. Stir in the cilantro and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Prepare the creamy chipotle sauce (recipe below).
Prepare the cabbage, guacamole, and romaine.
Warm the tortillas in a skillet or over and open flame until soft and pliable. Keep them warm by wrapping them in foil until ready to assemble.
To Assemble
Place the warm tortillas on a clean work surface.
Fill each with a quarter of the rice and BBQ jackfruit. Top with a small handful of cabbage, a dollop of guacamole, a handful of romaine, and a generous drizzle of sauce.
One at a time, fold in the sides on each burrito. Then, fold in the edge nearest to you, and roll away from your body, forming a burrito.
Slice in half and serve with extra sauce for dipping.
