Preparations for Burrito

1 – Seasoned Rice

For this recipe, you can take any rice – basmati rice, brown rice, wild rice, or any other rice which you have at home. I prefer to make it using basmati rice because we both like the taste and that’s what is always available in our home. In this recipe, I seasoned the rice with some mint leaves, coriander leaves, lemon juice, cumin seeds, and salt. These simple ingredients make the rice so delicious and aromatic. You can use the plain boiled rice too seasoned with just some salt. But if you want to experiment more, try it with these seasonings. It tastes much better.

2 – Salsa (Pico De Gallo)

This adds a nice crunch and a burst of flavor to this recipe. Generally, there is no chopped capsicum in salsa but I always add that. It makes the salsa even tastier. Do try this recipe.

You can use any kind of salsa in this recipe:

1. Mango Salsa
2. Pineapple Salsa
3. Regular Spicy Salsa

3 – Kidney Bean Filling

If it is a Mexican recipe, it has to have kidney beans (rajma) to it. Isn’t it? I used a store-bought burrito spice mix in this recipe. It contains so many different spices and herbs which makes the curry aromatic and flavorful. You can prepare the spice mix at home also.

Burrito Spice Mix (2 Tbsp approx.):

1. Ground Cumin: 2 Tsp
2. Salt: 1/2 Tsp
3. Red Chilli Powder: 1/2 Tsp
4. Paprika Powder: 1/2 Tsp
5. Garlic Powder: 1/4 Tsp
6. Onion Powder: 1/4 Tsp
7. Black Pepper Powder: 1/2 Tsp
8. Dried Oregano: 1/4 Tsp
9. Dried Thyme: 1/4 Tsp

By the way, if you love kidney beans (rajma) then you must try these kidney bean recipes too – Rajma Patty Burger with Mango Salsa, Punjabi Rajma Masala, Vegan Mexican Burger, and Burrito Bowl.

4 – Sour Cream

This recipe contains a lot of different spices. But they get very well balanced with the sour cream that I prepare using curd. Just hang some curd in a muslin cloth or in a fine-mesh sieve and let all the excess moisture drain out. Once the liquid is drained out, you get a nice, thick, and creamy hung curd that tastes exactly like sour cream. The sour cream makes this recipe refreshing and comforting.

You can even use store-bought sour cream.
