Burrito wrap

2-3 large tortilla wraps
1 cup refried beans
1/2 cup cooked rice
1/4 cup guacamole
2 tbsp sour cream
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 large tomato, de-seeded and chopped
1/4 cup chopped coriander leaves
1/2 tsp cumin powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ginger powder
1/4 tsp chili powder
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Salad leaves



Preparing the refried beans

  • Heat oil in a pan. Saute the chopped onion till they turn translucent.
  • Add the refried beans and mix for a minute. You can add little water to loosen it into a thick paste consistency.
  • Add cumin, garlic, chili and ginger powders, oregano pepper and salt and cook for a few minutes.
  • Lastly add the chopped tomato and coriander leaves and continue to cook for a minute.
  • Take it off the heat and allow to cool. 

To prepare the wraps

  • Heat the tortilla on a griddle to make it flexible enough to fold without tearing.
  • Build up layers with rice, refried beans, guacamole, sour cream and salad leaves.
  • Fold the tortilla into a wrap. There are a number of videos on YouTube that explain this.
The burrito I made here is vegetarian. You can always add some shredded chicken or add some minced meat to the refried beans to satisfy a non-vegetarian palate.
