Easy to make butternut burrito from fall vegetables. Butternut squash, spinach, cipollini onions, and mushrooms, drizzled with butternut cream sauce.
Part 3 of 3 in the Butternut Squash Trilogy series.
Butternut Burrito??? Say what?! Yeah, I know it doesn’t look or sound like a traditional Mexican Burrito, but you know what… I don’t care! This butternut burrito was a perfect way to use up leftovers from the butternut pasta and butternut pizza recipes and it is also recipe 3 in the butternut trilogy.
I cooked up some basmati rice I had on hand, any rice will work, added some sauteed mushrooms to the roasted cipollini onions, and then added the butternut squash chunks, sauteed spinach, and drizzled with butternut cream sauce. I then rolled it up, sprayed each burrito lightly with oil, put into a baking dish, and chucked in a 400°F oven for 5-10 minutes until slightly crispy. It was delicious! Give it a try.
