Vegetable and Quinoa Burrito / Wrap

Burrito is a type of Mexican food consisting of wheat flour or  corn flour tortilla wrapped or folded completely on all the sides with filling of veggies, meat, beans and rice inside it. Burritos are commonly called as tacos de harina which means wheat flour tacos.

For day 3, under tortilla based dishes am here with a healthy and delicious Burrito / Wrap filled with veggies, quinoa and cheese. Usually burrito calls for rice for the filling, to make it little healthier I have replaced rice with quinoa. Easy to make and crunchy and delicious dish for a healthy life. Here goes the recipe...

Quinoa 1/2 cup
Bell pepper chopped  1/2 cup
Onion chopped 1/2 cup

Grated cheese 1 cup
Ranch 1/2 cup
Butter Lettuce 6

Preparation:

Wash and cook quinoa in 1 cup water.
Boil broccoli in hot water for 3 to 4 minutes and drain water.
Chop  boiled broccoli into small pieces and keep aside.
In a mixing bowl add  broccoli, cooked quinoa, onions, bell pepper, tomato, salt, chili flakes and mix well.
Now add ranch and cheese, give it a stir and keep aside for 5 minute.
Meanwhile heat skillet and heat up the tortilla for few seconds on both the sides.
Now place the tortilla on a plate and add few spoons of filling in the center.

Fold the tortilla as shown below from all the sides.
On a the same skillet place the burrito / wrap and cook for few seconds on both the sides.

    Quinoa in a burrito is very innovative. This burrito would be great as a meal all by itself.

    Using quinoa instead of rice as burrito filling is a healthy & nutritious idea. Will have to try your version some time.

Kaju Katli / Kaju Burfi

Image
Kaju Katli also known as Kaju burfi is an Indian dessert made of Cashew nuts and sugar. Kaju Katli  has been in my to do list for a quite some time. Finally I made it for this Diwali. Diamond sweet is one of   my son's favorite sweet, yes " Diamond Sweet " that is what he calls it. The texture was't that smooth that we get in market but the taste was awesome.  Typically, Cashew nuts are soaked in water overnight then ground it into paste and added to sugar syrup to make a smooth dough. Few people make it in different way, make cashew nuts powder and add to sugar syrup. Either ways you make the taste and texture matters. I have followed the 2nd method as I didn't have much time to prepare this for a potluck party.  This recipe  goes to the final day of week 1, Blogging Marathon 81 under the theme " Diwali Savories and Sweets". Here goes the recipe...... Ingredients: Kaju / Cashew nut powder 1 1/2 cup Sugar 1 cup Water 1/2 cup Butter / Ghee 1 tbsp Edible S...
