Mongolian Beef Burrito

Mongolian Beef Burrito made with ground mongolian beef, seasoned rice, sriracha and a quick Asian mayo slaw. It’s the best burrito you’ve had since Kogi bbq came on the scene.

We love this Mongolian Beef Burrito because it’s like sitting down to an entire takeout meal in one with the ingredients of a Mongolian Beef rice bowl in portable fashion.

 Ground Mongolian Beef meets Kogi BBQ

The idea of a Mongolian Beef Burrito came to us one day completely randomly. We made lunch and then got a call that we’d forgotten an appointment that we were almost late too.

I grabbed a couple of burrito sized tortillas, tossed our Ground Mongolian Beef into the tortilla with the rest of our bowl ingredients. I wrapped it in foil and threw it in the toaster oven while we were getting ready to run out the door so it would stay warm for us for the rest of the drive.

Even though we posted the Orange Chicken Burrito months ago, this version was the reason that one existed!

The flavors are AMAZING. By using ground beef instead of steak we cut down on costs, time and it makes eating the burrito even easier! Adding a bit of rice vinegar to the rice is the perfect complement to the sweetness in the Mongolian beef.

Topped with the spice of Sriracha and the cool, creamy mayo based slaw this burrito is a well balanced…well…flavor bomb.

The final trick is that we put it in the toaster oven before serving. It doesn’t technically need it if you’re rolling them fresh and eating them, but hear me out.

When wrapping and toasting the burritos it gives them a bit of time for the flavors to meld, it also helps hold the burrito together. Finally if you have to travel before eating them, I highly recommend the toasting as it keeps them perfectly hot until you arrive.

The last time we made these Mongolian Beef Burritos I actually made them for my husband’s basketball league game. With travel and waiting for the game to end they kept warm for over 30 minutes (I use this heating/cooling pack with this car adapter anytime I travel with food) and people commented they were perfectly hot.

Tools used in the making of these Mongolian Beef Burritos:
Sesame Oil: The flavor of sesame oil in this dish is unmistakeable and not really able to be substituted. Some Asian grocery stores will try and sell less expensive options that aren’t actually sesame oil, so just be sure the one you’re buying is authentic sesame oil.
Mirin: A sweetened Asian wine, if you don’t use this use white wine with a 1/2 teaspoon of sugar.
Heating/cooling pack and car adapter: Plugs into a wall or car with the adapter, I use them anytime I travel with food.
