East + West Burritos are the best! And here's a chance to win a 500 grams Satay Marinade!
Wikipedia says, "A burrito is a dish in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine that took form in Ciudad Juárez, consisting of a flour tortilla wrapped into a sealed cylindrical shape around various ingredients. The tortilla is sometimes lightly grilled or steamed to soften it, make it more pliable, and allow it to adhere to itself."
How about we take this burrito and give it an Asian twist? And yes... that magic ingredient giving the twist is our Satay Marinade powder !

150g Sugar
Beans
2 Tbsp (30 g) unsalted butter
1 sweet onion, sliced
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
2 jalapenos, thinly sliced
1 can of black beans
2 Tbsp (30 ml) hot sauce
Fajita Veggies
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 sweet onion, thinly sliced
2 jalapenos, thinly sliced
Salt to taste
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
Aioli Ingredients:
1 cup (220 g) mayonnaise
1 Tbsp (8 g) smoked paprika
2 Tbsp (30 ml) hot sauce
2 Tbsp (30 ml) lime juice
3 garlic cloves, grated
Salt to taste
Method:
For making the rice:
Add rice to a fine-mesh strainer and wash 2 times with water.
Place rice into a rice cooker with equal parts water and cook.
Once finished cooking, add salt to taste and unsalted butter. Stir until fully melted and incorporated.
Add in finely chopped cilantro and the juice of one lime. Stir until combined.
For preparing the chicken:
Place chicken thighs into a bowl and coat thoroughly with satay marinade base and sugar.
In a medium skillet, heat enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom of the pan, and once hot, add the chicken. Sear for 2-3 minutes. Flip and sear for 1-2 more minutes.
Add chicken pieces to a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven set to 400F for 10-15 minutes or until internal temperature is 165F.
Cut chicken into bite-sized pieces and toss in its own juices.
For making the beans:
In a medium saucepan, add unsalted butter over medium heat.
Once the butter has melted, add in sliced sweet onion, salt, and pepper, sliced jalapenos, and stir to coat with the butter.
Let cook, stirring occasionally until vegetables begin to soften.
Add in a can of black beans, hot sauce, and salt to taste. Stir until incorporated.
Continue to cook, while stirring often, until everything is hot.
In a separate cold pan, add sliced bacon and set to medium heat. Let cook and stir often until it's rendered fat and cooked through and crisp.
Remove the bacon from the fat, drain with a paper towel, and once drained finely chop.
Add chopped bacon to the beans and stir until incorporated.
For the fajitas vegetables:
In a medium bowl, toss together the sliced red bell pepper, sliced sweet onion, and sliced jalapenos until evenly mixed.
In the same pan, the bacon is cooked in, heat until medium-high and add in the sliced veggies, and season with salt.
Cook tossing occasionally for 3-5 minutes or until lightly charred and just beginning to soften.
Turn off the heat and add in chopped garlic, toss together, and season with salt to taste.
For the aioli:
Add all ingredients into a medium bowl.
Mix until thoroughly combined and incorporated.
Putting it all together:
On a warm tortilla, lay down a layer of rice, hot beans, chicken, a drizzle of aioli, a layer of fajita veggies, an optional sprig of cilantro and a grating of cheddar cheese.
Grab the sides and fold towards the center, grab the bottom and roll over the filling and over the folded insides nice and tight all the way up until fully wrapped.
Ready to serve.
