Black & Red kidney bean (Rajma) Burritos

BLACK BEAN BURRITOS 1

Whenever I think of healthy food that my kids love to eat, this Black & Red kidney bean (Rajma) burritos always come to my mind. These are a complete meal in itself. There is whole wheat roti/ wrap, lots of salad and rajma in it. Healthy, Delicious and kid friendly.

For the wraps (roti):

2 cup whole wheat flour (makes six wraps)
¼ tsp salt
Water

For Black & Red kidney bean filling:

Soak 1 cup of red kidney beans in 3 cups of water overnight.
Combine with 1tsp salt and pressure cook for 20 minutes till the beans are soft.

For salad mixture:

2 cups chopped raw vegetables (cucumbers, tomato, onions and capsicum)
½ cup corn kernels (optional)
salt and black pepper to taste
¼ tsp oregano

Mix all the ingredients for salad mixture in a bowl. There is no hard and fast rule. You can use whatever vegetables your kids may like. You can use carrots and cabbage also in winters.

To make burritos:

Mix salt to the flour.
Make a soft dough with water.
Knead the dough and keep it covered for ½ hour.
Divide the dough into 6 equal portions.
Make 6 regular whole wheat roti/ chapatti.
Roll out each portion using rolling pins with the help of little flour.
Cook lightly on both sides on a griddle (tava).
Take a roti/wrap and apply tomato ketchup, cheese spread/mayonnaise and some mustard sauce to it.
Now add some rajma and salad to it. Roll it and enjoy.
