Roti Burritos is my desi mexican food fusion and I just love it. The idea came in my mind when I wasn't very keen on using Tortillas and wanted to replace them with something more fulfilling for my lunch. And one day while I was fixing this jam roll in a spinach chapati for my son's tiifin , it stuck me to try of it out with some fillings inspired by my last trip to Chipotle while I was on a Vacation in US early this year. Now I didn't have the mexican seasoning for my Roti Burritos so I thought of making it my own way. Now this Roti Burritos has a layer of hung curd which is my replacement of sour cream then chutney rice to make it spicy and then offcourse red kidney beans or Rajma cooked in some basic spices. Now the catch was to get the salsa which is on of he most important ingredient but that's where I made my own with tomatoes, capsicum, onions, garlic and it did give a nice crunch and kick to the Roti Burritos.
This did serve well for an office lunch as well as school tiffin and what I love most it that one Roti Burritos has everything what an Indian lunch comprises of. The very fact of a balance of carbs, protiens, fat, calcium and much needed vitamins makes me fell happy to fix this 10 min Roti Burritos for my family. Hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
