Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over high heat. Add the potato and onion, cook 5 minutes un softened. Add the chipotle chili powder, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Stir in the poblanos, cook another 5 minutes, then remove from the heat and stir in the beans.
  2. To make the burritos. Place one tortilla at a time in the microwave for 20 seconds. Layer the avocado, pepper jack, peppers/beans, salsa, and cilantro. Fold the tortilla over the ingredients. Fold sides and ends of tortillas over filling and roll forward. Repeat with remaining tortillas and ingredients.
  3. To make the crema. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. Season with salt.
  4. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Arrange 2-3 jalapeño slices in a line in the skillet. Sprinkle over 1/2 cup cheese in 4-6 inch circle/square. Place the burrito on top of the cheese. Cook 3-5 minutes. When the cheese starts to crisp on the bottom, use a spatula to gently wrap the burrito up in the cheese. Continue to cook 3-4 minutes, until crisped all over.
  5. Serve warm with lime crema and any amount of desired toppings, whatever you love!

    I made this, but substituted Carnitas for the black beans. Absolutely phenomenal, but wow is it a lot of work. Worth it, though.
