  • 2 garlic clove crushed
  • 8 mushrooms sliced
  • 1 onion sliced
  • 300 g Mixed Mexican beans canned; drained
  • 100 g Frozen sweetcorn
  • 2 teaspoon chipotle paste (less if you like it less spicy)

  • 200 g brown rice cooked

  • 4 Whole wheat tortilla wraps

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a large pan and add 1 Onion, 2 Garlic clove and 8 Mushrooms. Cook for 3 minutes until softened.
  2. Add 300 g Mixed Mexican beans and 100 g Frozen sweetcorn and mash them a little so they become a little mushy.
  3. Add 2 teaspoon Chipotle paste, 1 teaspoon Cumin, 4 tablespoon Fresh coriander (cilantro) and 1 teaspoon Paprika and cook for 1 minute.
  4. Add 200 g Chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Make your burritos by dividing 200 g Brown rice and bean mix to 4 Whole wheat tortilla wraps. Top with some shredded Lettuce, Mexican Coleslaw, Guacamole, Salsa and Chipotle Cream (optional). Wrap up into a burrito and wrap in foil to keep warm.

Notes

  • Make sure you have a tortilla that is big enough for all the filling. There is nothing worse (when it comes to burritos anyway) than struggling to wrap up your burrito. Try to use one that is at least 12 inches. If you can only find smaller ones, you can make bean tacos.
  • Only remove the tortilla wraps from their packet just before you construct the burrito. Keeping them in their packet until the last minute keeps them fresher and easier to wrap.
  • To fold the burrito up, tuck it in at the sides first, and then fold the tortilla over the fillings and roll it closed. Roll your burrito inside a piece of foil or parchment to keep the fillings contained.
  • To make these gluten free, use gluten free tortillas.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lime over the bean mixture before serving. This will add some freshness and really bring all the ingredients to life.
  • If you wanted to add some cheese, then some mature cheddar or feta work well.
  • Once the burrito is folded, you can heat it in a skillet to make it a bit crispy.
  • You can also use this mixture to make burrito bowls with, and skip the wraps.
