Ingredients for Baked Veggie Tex Mex Burritos

  • Green Pepper
  • Onion
  • Fresh Mushrooms
  • Vinaigrette Dressing
  • 1/2 cup salsa (your favorite kind)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred Mexican blend)
  • Flour Tortillas

How to Make Baked Veggie Tex Mex Burritos

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the bell pepper, zucchini, broccoli, and corn in the salad dressing until vegetables are tender-crisp (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Stir in the salsa and cook for another 2 minutes, until heated through.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese to the vegetable mixture and stir until melted and creamy.
  5. Lay the tortillas flat on a clean surface.
  6. Divide the vegetable mixture evenly among the tortillas.
  7. Fold the sides of each tortilla inward, then tightly roll up into burritos.
  8. Place the burritos seam-down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  9. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of cheese over the burritos.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the burritos are lightly golden and crispy.
  11. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before adding your desired toppings (sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, tomatoes, jalapeños).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
