Introduction
Recreate the viral northern Mexican-style burritos from NYC's famous Son Del North. These distinctive burritos feature no rice, relying instead on slow-cooked creamy Canary beans, grilled meats, and custom fresh salsas, all wrapped in a Sonoran-style flour tortilla and grilled to perfection.
Step 1
Bean Simmering: Simmer the Mayacoba (Canary) beans in water with onion halves for about 3 hours until completely tender and soft.
Step 2
Confit Green Sauce: Cook jalapeños, serranos, and peeled garlic cloves in sunflower seed oil at a low temperature for about 1 hour. Once softened, blend them with a touch of lime juice until smooth.
Step 3
Guacamole Base: Press avocado halves through a wire rack into a bowl to create a smooth paste without over-working the fruit.
Step 4
Guacamole Finishing: Blend serrano peppers with lime juice separately, then fold this mixture into the avocado paste along with finely chopped onions and salt.
Step 5
Refrying Beans: Sauté finely diced jalapeños in sunflower seed oil. Add the tender cooked Canary beans and mash them by hand until they form a smooth, spreadable consistency.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Authentic northern Mexican burritos use Canary (Mayacoba) beans instead of pinto or black beans for a creamier texture.
Do not add garlic to the guacamole, as it overpowers the fresh avocado flavor.
Always grill the assembled burritos seam-side down first to melt the cheese and weld the tortilla shut, keeping the filling secure.
Never add rice to these burritos; the focus is entirely on the quality of the beans and meat.
