Ingredients

Asian Slaw

  • 1 bag finely shredded cabbage
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons rice vinegar

Seasoned Rice

  • 3 cups white rice, steamed
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Ground Mongolian Beef

  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/4 cup lite soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • Sriracha, to taste

Assembly

  • 6 extra large (burrito size) flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Asian Slaw: In a bowl, combine the finely shredded cabbage with 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 2 teaspoons rice vinegar. Mix well to coat the cabbage evenly and set aside to develop flavors while you prepare other components.
  2. Make Seasoned Rice: Steam 3 cups of white rice according to package instructions. Once cooked and still warm, stir in 1 tablespoon rice vinegar gently to add a subtle tang and keep the rice fluffy.
  3. Cook Ground Mongolian Beef: Heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of lean ground beef, breaking it apart as it browns. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger, cooking until fragrant. Stir in 2 tablespoons mirin, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup lite soy sauce. Allow the sauce to thicken slightly while the beef absorbs the flavors. Finish by sprinkling 1 teaspoon sesame seeds and adding Sriracha to taste for heat. Mix well and remove from heat.
  4. Warm the Tortillas: Gently warm 6 extra-large flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave for a few seconds until pliable and easy to roll without cracking.
  5. Assemble the Burritos: Lay a warm tortilla flat and spoon a generous amount of seasoned rice in the center, followed by a portion of the Mongolian beef mixture. Top with a handful of the prepared Asian slaw. Carefully fold in the sides and roll the tortilla tightly to encase the filling securely.
  6. Serve: Slice the burritos in half if desired and serve immediately, perhaps with extra Sriracha or your favorite dipping sauce on the side for added flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute brown rice for white rice for a healthier option.
  • The Asian slaw can be prepared a few hours in advance to let the flavors meld.
  • Adjust the amount of Sriracha based on your preferred spice level.
  • Use extra-large burrito-sized tortillas to ensure all fillings fit without bursting.
  • Leftover burritos can be wrapped in foil and reheated in the oven for a warm meal later.
