A new month and so a new edition of Blogging Marathon. For Week 1 of BM #46, I have chosen to highlight some kid's lunch box recipes with Nuts and Legumes.
My little one cannot take nuts as a snack to her class due some nut allergies in her class. But apparently, there is a nut free table in their lunch room. So I do send some nuts in some form or another in her lunch box. But today's recipe is nut free but has legumes in them!!
Coming to the Bean Burrito, both my kids refused to take it in the lunch box but my neighbor's kids take them happily. But my kids loved these bean burritos for their after school snack and dinner. So make these burritos as dry as possible to avoid the tortillas getting soggy and individually foil wrap them.
Ingredients -
Tortillas / Rotis
For the filling - Any or all of them as per availability/preference
*Cooked Red Kidney Beans/Black Beans
Guacamole or Avocado slices
Lettuce, Shredded
Onion, finely chopped
Bell Peppers, All Colors
Tomato, de-seeded and finely chopped
Cooked Rice (I didn't use)
Shredded Cheese
Boiled Corn
If not using for a lunch box, mix in the sauces (Taco Sauce, Hot Sauce, Fire Sauce as needed) and sour cream
Method Of Preparation -
Prepare the beans -
Saute onions, tomatoes and half a cup of colored peppers add in the cooked beans, salt, paprika and 1 tablespoon of Taco Seasoning.
Prepare the Peppers -
Saute sliced onions and sliced colored peppers. Sprinkle salt and taco seasoning. Remove from heat.
Prepare the corn -
Saute corn until they are slightly blistered. Season with salt and pepper.
Warm the tortilla on both sides. Apply guacamole on one side of the tortilla. Arrange the ingredients of the filling as required, roll it and if needed heat it again until the cheese melts.
Preparation Time 10 min
