Rajma Burritos or Rajma Wraps- Don’t we all love food which we can prepare quickly, has lots of vegetables and our kids cannot stop devouring them. Sounds unreal?
Well, I know the feeling but still, there are some dishes which kids keep in their desired food list and we put on top of our healthy food list.
These vegetarian Mexican rajma burritos definitely score high on that list.
High in protein red kidney beans, lots of salad and whole wheat wraps make them really healthy while some cheese spread and mustard sauce makes kids very happy (and their fathers too though they will never admit it).
So here is my adaptation of the Mexican burritos – healthy red kidney bean (rajma) burritos.

- Knead again and divide into 6 equal portions.
- Roll out each portion using rolling pins with the help of little flour.

- Just roll it up and watch the magic.
Notes
For red kidney bean burritos:
For Red kidney bean:
Soak 1 cup of red kidney beans in 3 cups of water overnight. Combine with 1tsp salt and pressure cook for 20 minutes till the beans are soft.
Check the detailed recipe of Rajma Masala.
For salad mixture:
You can add any vegetables you have for salad. My kids eat all the vegetables in this salad as the flavor of Rajma and sauces is dominant in this recipe.
I find this the best way to feed them veggies.
For Sauces:
You can use any sauces that you like. To make it healthier you can also use homemade Mayonnaise which is made with curd.
For Wraps:
I prefer homemade whole wheat Roti/ tortilla for rajma burrito. you can also use store-bought tortillas also for this recipe if that is what you prefer. It will cut down cooking time and will be ready in a jiffy.
This red kidney bean Burrito recipe is a good choice for kids staying in dorms/ hostel who have to cook their own food and want to eat healthily without compromising on taste.
