CHEESY BEAN BURRITOS

CHEESY BEAN BURRITOS

These burritos are super tasty and a satisfying nod to the Mexican family favourite. They’re perfect to eat straight from the oven or pop one into a lunch box and take it to school.

INGREDIENTS

SERVES: 4

1 mug of basmati rice 

1 onion 

2 cloves of garlic

1 tbsp vegetable oil 

1 tbsp tomato purée

1 tin of mixed beans 

1 tbsp fajita spice mix 

4 tortilla wraps (white, wholemeal or ‘half and half’)

4 tbsp grated cheddar cheese 

METHOD

1: Whack the oven on at 180C. 

2: Put the rice in a sieve and rinse it well under the tap for a few minutes. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and then add the rice and cook for 8-10 minutes. Once cooked, drain the rice and set it aside. 

3: Peel and roughly chop the onion and garlic. Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and, once hot, add the onion and cook for 6-8 minutes until golden brown. Then add the garlic and tomato purée and cook for a few more minutes.

4: Drain the beans into a sieve and rinse under the tap, then add these along with the fajita spice mix and the drained rice to the pan and give it all a good stir.

5: Lay a piece of kitchen foil onto a flat surface and place one of the tortilla wraps on top. Spoon ¼ of the bean and rice mixture onto the middle of the wrap, then top this with a sprinkling of grated cheese. Fold the top and bottom of each wrap up and over the filling, then fold in the sides - rolling it up tightly so the filling is securely wrapped up. Finally, wrap the whole thing in the foil. Repeat this process for the remaining 3 wraps.

6: Pop all the wraps in their foil in the hot oven for 8-10 minutes until the wrap is soft and the cheese is melted.

7: Pop the burritos onto plates, peeling away the foil wrapping before digging in!
