Units Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 7–oz can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1 cup remoulade (left over from shrimp boil)
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 green bell or poblano pepper, chopped
  • 1 pound of peeled shrimp (left over from shrimp boil)
  • Pre-cooked octopus, sliced (optional)
  • Smoked or raw swordfish or tuna steaks (optional)
  • Salt and chili oil to taste if using fresh swordfish or tuna
  • 4 large flour tortillas

Instructions

  1. Add liquid from chipotles en adobo to remoulade to taste and mix well.
  2. Heat 1 teaspoon of oil in a small skillet over medium heat until hot, then add green pepper and fry until soft. Add shrimp and, if you have it, pre-cooked octopus, and continue to fry for two or three minutes. 
  3. If using smoked tuna or swordfish, shred it. If using fresh, sprinkle with salt and chili oil, and sear in a teaspoon of oil on all sides for five minutes. Remove and cube. 
  4. Blister large tortillas over or under some kind of flame, or microwave them, and split all ingredients between the four tortillas, ending with the adobo remoulade.
  5.  Wrap the tortillas, slice the burritas down the middle, and then griddle them on the sides and the open faces.
  6. Drizzle additional spiked adobo remoulade on the open side and serve.
