Black & Red kidney bean (Rajma) Burritos
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.
