Spicy Walnut Burrito (Bulgogi Style)

Ingredients

• 2.5 cup raw walnuts (Soaked overnight in the refrigerator, then drained)
• 2 tbsp avocado oil (Divided; 1 tablespoon for processing the walnuts and 1 tablespoon for sautéing)
• 1 cup white onion (Chopped)
• 3 clove garlic (Minced)
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar
• 0.25 cup coconut aminos (The source spells this as “coconnut amino”)
• 1 tbsp sesame oil
• 0.25 cup vegetable broth
• 2 tbsp fresh ginger (Minced)
• 2 tsp red pepper flakes
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• salt (To taste)
• jasmine rice (Cooked; amount not specified)
• carrots (Shredded; amount not specified)
• cucumber (Sliced; amount not specified)
• sesame seeds (For assembly; amount not specified)
• burrito shells (Amount not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Soak the walnuts overnight in the refrigerator. Drain them thoroughly before using.

2. 2

   Add the soaked, drained walnuts and 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil to a food processor. Pulse until the walnuts form small crumbles; do not process them into a smooth paste.

3. 3

   Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil.

4. 4

   Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion caramelizes and becomes deeply golden and fragrant, stirring regularly to prevent scorching.

5. 5

   Add the walnut crumbles to the skillet. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until warmed through and lightly browned.

6. 6

   Pour the vegetable broth into the skillet and stir to combine with the walnut mixture.

7. 7

   Add the coconut sugar, coconut aminos, sesame oil, minced ginger, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and salt to taste.

8. 8

   Cook the walnut bulgogi mixture for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the seasonings are well incorporated and the mixture is hot and richly flavored.

9. 9

   Build each burrito with cooked jasmine rice, shredded carrots, sliced cucumber, sesame seeds, and the spicy walnut bulgogi crumbles.

10. 10

    Wrap the burritos securely and serve immediately.

Notes

The overnight walnut soak contributes most of the elapsed time. Amounts for the rice, vegetables, sesame seeds, and burrito shells were not specified in the source; add them to taste and according to the desired burrito size.
