Mongolian Beef Burrito
Description
This burrito starts with a creamy slaw made from finely shredded cabbage tossed with mayonnaise and rice vinegar for a crisp, tangy counterpoint to the rich beef. For the base, steamed white rice is flavored with rice vinegar and chopped gently to separate the grains and enhance taste.
The star ingredient is the ground Mongolian beef, browned deeply in sesame oil then cooked with garlic, ginger, mirin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, and sesame seeds until the sauce thickens and coats the meat with a glossy finish. Adding sriracha in assembly offers customizable heat.
All components are assembled in large flour tortillas warmed for pliability. The burrito is layered with rice, meat, and slaw, then rolled tightly using foil for easy handling and eating. Toasting the burritos enhances flavor and texture, giving a slight crispness to the wrap.
This dish serves well for a casual dinner or lunch with bold Asian-inspired flavors reimagined in a handheld format. It balances sweet, savory, tangy, and spicy elements with satisfying textures.

CREAMY SLAW:

- Let sit while you make the beef.
GROUND MONGOLIAN BEEF:
- Heat a large pan over medium high heat.
- Brown the meat really deeply with sesame oil.
- Once browned, drain most of the fat, then add the garlic and ginger.
- Add the mirin, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame seeds and red pepper flakes.
- Cook until the liquid has reabsorbed and the meat is shiny but not soupy.
To Assemble:
- Warm your tortillas in the microwave under a damp paper towel for 10 seconds.
- Use a sheet of foil for each burrito.
- Lay the tortilla down then add 1/2 cup of the rice mixture.
- Add in 1/6th the meat and 1/6th the slaw mixture.
- Add Sriracha to taste.
- Roll the burrito tightly then wrap the foil around it.
- If desired add to a toaster oven or hot oven for 4-5 minutes (around 400 degrees).*
Notes
- Toasting the assembled burrito before eating improves flavor and texture even if eating immediately.
- The sriracha amount can be adjusted to preference for spice level.
