Ingredients

  • 1 cup /250mL Dainty Basmati rice
  • 1 tsp Chili Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Ground Cumin
  • 1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1/2 tsp Smoked Paprika (optional)
  • 1 cup/250mL canned Beans (small Red Kidney Beans, Black Beans, Pinto Beans or a mix)
  • 4 x 10 inch Flour Tortillas
  • 2 cups/500mL Shredded Cheese, your choice
  • Salsa, your choice, for dipping

Preparation

1

In the bowl of a rice cooker, combine the rice, chili powder, cumin, garlic, and paprika if using. Cover with 1 ½ cups of water and cook.

2

When done, gently fold in the beans and close the lid. Allow the rice to rest and the beans to warm for 10 minutes.

3

After the beans have warmed, stir in the cheese.

4

Prepare the burrito by spooning a generous portion (about 1 cup/250mL) of the cheesy rice mixture in the center and roll to seal. Serve with salsa of choice on the side.

5

Tip 1 : Place the rolled burrito on a baking sheet and crisp in a 350* oven for 5-10 minutes.

6

Tip 2 : For added favour - sauté 1 small sliced onion and 1 sliced red bell pepper to add inside. Top with diced tomato.

Tip 3 : If you don't have a rice cooker you can follow the recipe on your cooktop in a pot with a well fitting lid.
