Low Carb Burrito!!!

Going back to my lovely Latin America to get inspired by a classic Mexican dish “Burrito”!
Wanted it to be low carb so I swapped the rice for quinoa and the tortillas for spring greens and the final results is an explosion of flavours and textures!!! Served with turmeric yogurt dip!!!

RECIPE

1 chicken breast cooked in water
100g of cooked quinoa
Spring greens leaves
1 onion
2 cloves of garlic
1 can of butter beans (you can use any kind of beans)
1 grated carrots
6 baby plum tomatoes
1 bunch of chopped parsley (you can use cilantro/coriander)
1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil unrefined (any oil will do)
1 Tbsp of smoked paprika
1/2 Tbsp of cumin powder
Salt and pepper to taste

For the dipping sauce
1/2 cup of natural yogurt (Greek Style)
1 tsp of turmeric
1 tsp of lemon juice
1 Tbsp of extra virgin olive oil unrefined
Salt to taste

Add the oil in to a sauce pan with chopped onions and minced garlic. Cooked until golden brown then add all the other ingredients. Mix it all well. It won’t take more than 10 minutes to cook.

Now you can prepare the spring greens leaves. Wash it individualy under cold water. If possible dry it with a kitchen towel. Place it on top of a chopping board and remove the hard part of the stem as you see on the picture below.

Place the spring greens leave on a flat surface and add the quinoa first and then the mixture.

Don’t worry about the gap left from the stem removed. It will ok to roll.

Gently press it, but make sure you roll it firmly!!!

Ready to serve and enjoy this delicious, low carb, super protein power Burrito!!!

Much love and gratitude!!!

My name is Naiane. I am a 41 year old food lover and recipe developer. I spend most of my free time testing, experimenting and having fun, creating new and replicating old recipes with a twist and lots of love! I was born in Brazil and I grow up in a very traditional Italian family in a small town in South of Brazil. My mum's side of the family is Italian and my dad's a mixture of Spanish and Portuguese. I feel very privileged to have these background and be able to implement the love and passion for food as much as those countries are passionate about. Moved to London after I finished International Relations at University in 2004 and I always worked in the food industry! I have a 6 year old son who loves to taste my recipes and he is a very serius critic of my dishes :) I aim to cater for everyone and every dietary requirement. As my Mamma always says "when you cook with love, you can taste it in the food".
