How to
Bean filling
- Heat olive oil in a pan
- Fry onions till translucent
- Add garlic and fry some more
- Add the beans and mash them really well. Add some water if necessary to make a loose pasty consistency
- Add salt, salsa sauce and jalapenos and mix well
- Keep aside
Rice
- Heat olive oil in a pan
- Add the chopped peppers and stir fry
- Add the rest of the ingredients except rice and stir fry
- Finally add the rice and toss well
- Keep aside
Guacamole
- Toss everything in a mixer and give a quick churn to make a chunky sauce
Tortillas
- Mix everything and knead into a tight dough
- Divide in to 4 equal portions and roll out thin tortillas
- Heat a griddle and cook till lightly brown on both sides
Assembling
- While the tortilla is still hot on the pan, add a slice of cheese to melt it slightly
- Take off from the flame and in to a plate.
- Spread the guacamole in one long line
- Then spread the rice along the same line
- Add the bean filling on top of the rice following the line
- Top it up with rest of the garnishing
- Fold the tortilla tightly to make the burrito
- Serve hot with some additional guacamole and rice
