Instructions
How to Mix Dough
Add all-purpose flour, oil, and salt in a bowl. Mix well.
Now add curd as needed and form a smooth and soft dough.
Now cover the dough with a wet cloth and let it rest for 1/2 an hour.
How to Make Rice Mix
In a bowl, add cooked rice, coriander leaves, lemon juice, salt and mix everything well. Set aside.
How to Make Chilli Paneer Stuffing
Heat butter in a pan, add cumin seeds, and let it splutter.
Once the seeds start spluttering add crushed garlic to it. Saute for a few seconds.
Now add onion, capsicum, and tomato to it and stir.
Add turmeric powder and salt to it.
Cook until the raw smell of turmeric goes off.
Add coriander powder, Kashmiri red chilli powder, chilli powder and garam masala powder. Mix well.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, then add paneer cubes to it. Give it a nice mix.
Now add curd and Kasturi methi leaves and mix.
Cook for 4-5 minutes and switch off the flame. Set aside.
How to Make Sour Cream
In a bowl add thick curd, mayonnaise, lemon juice and salt. Mix everything well. Set aside.
How to Make Salsa
Take another bowl, add onion, tomato, green chilli, lemon juice and salt.
Mix everything well. Keep it aside.
How to Make Tortilla
Divide the dough into 8 equal sizes.
Now take one part and roll it.
Heat a flat pan and cook the base from both the sides. (use flat tawa to cook, but if you don’t have you can use normal Tawa also).
Follow the same process to make the rest of the tortilla.
How to Assemble
Place the tortillas on a plate and spread the rice mixture on the lower part of the roti.
Now add some chilli paneer on the same spot then some sour cream and some salsa.
Now add some grated cheese on to it.
Sprinkle some Oregano Seasoning on to it.
It's time to roll our burritos.
To roll the burrito, first, fold the two sides inwards covering the filling.
Then start rolling from the bottom towards the top, tightly pressing the fillings inward so that the wrap completely encloses the filling from all sides.
Continue with remaining burritos.
Now heat a grill pan or normal tawa.
Keep one burrito wrap on to it.
Rub little butter on all sides of the burrito.
Cook from both sides until the burrito is golden brown.
Cut the burritos in half and serve.
You can serve these burritos roll along with mayonnaise, sauce, or sour cream and nachos.
Notes
I have used mozzarella cheese here. But you can use any other cheese of your choice
