Grilled bean burrito

Burrito is one of my favourite item which is a wholesome meal that has rice, vegetables, bean, and cheese. It can be done even with leftover food which takes very less time to prepare. Here in this recipe, i tried grilled burrito which was slightly crisp on the outer side and soft inside. Also it is a best lunch box item for school going kid.

Notes:

  • Original recipe calls for black beans. Since i did not have one, i used black eyed peas.
  • You should cook brown rice in a perfect texture not mushy.
  • You can replace this salsa with sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, hot sauce.
  • I used panini making grill to grill this burrito.
  • Grilling time differs with every grill, so check in between whether it is perfectly grilled or not.
