Chapathi Veggie Burrito

‘Burrito’, you need to say it the Mexican way, to know what an amazing dish it is and how filling it can get! Unlike wraps which are more likely to be consumed as a snack, Burritos are nothing less than a full meal. Traditionally, Burritos comprise of veggies / beans / meat / cheese wrapped in tortillas. I thought why not give veggie Burrito a try, which is also equally filling? And here we are.

Do you have some extra chapathis??? In this recipe, I have used chapathis instead of tortillas for wrapping (in my opinion, it tastes even better with chapathis) and for filling, it’s all veggies. You may decide on the veggies as per your choice and wish. Kidney beans, though, fits the bill the best.

Last but not the least, Burritos taste the best, with a good tangy salsa. And don’t worry, your concern is taken care of, here we have a very simple recipe for a lip smacking salsa.

You may refer to  Salsa Dip for quick and easy salsa which goes very well with Burrito.

Burrito stories:

Weekend is about friends and guests at home. Cooking in exact proportions is a challenge especially when cooking for a large number of people. In such situations, carry forward of remaining food to the next day becomes inevitable. There are lot of options with left over rice, but what about left over chapathis? If you don’t have the right curry for it, it becomes difficult to finish as well. Not to forget the boredom to eat the same chapathi the next day! So why not give a new avatar to chapathi? Why not wrap-it-to Burrito??? Trust me, we all loved it so much that I prepared chapathis again the next day to have more Burrito. The veggie version of the Burrito is not just healthy, but filling and yummy too. This particular recipe is bang on – Dil khush – Tummy Khush.
