With or without rajma, with one stuffing or the other, burritos are always a great option for a weekend snack as much as for a party – it is quite a meal in itself.
You can have a free hand with the stuffing and experiment with choices of your own – just ensure that they are healthy! You must always stuff the burritos as and when required to avoid sogginess; or to add an element of fun and freedom, you can let your guests stuff their own burritos! Cabbage and onions add crunch, while the mozzarella cheese enhances the flavour – every ingredient plays its part in making this a grand success.
Usually burritos are not cooked, but you can cook it lightly in the microwave to just melt the cheese a wee bit. And of course, don’t forget to serve with chilled tomato salsa!
This recipe proves that diabetics can have most of their favourite foods, provided they make some smart twists in the cooking method and ingredients.
Tortillas, which are like the pillars of Mexican cooking, are usually made with maize flour and maida, both of which are no-no for diabetics.
Maize flour, especially, can cause blood sugar levels to dart up instantly! Here, we have made delicious Whole Wheat Burritos by using more of wheat flour and less of maize flour.
While refried beans and salsa are also fibre-rich, we have enhanced the recipe further by using nutritious and fibrous veggies like spring onions and cabbage to add volume without relying totally on refried beans.
