Makes 4 large or 6 smaller burritos
-
Hands-on time 30 min
Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 454g pack sausages, skins removed
- 3 tbsp Mexican spice mix (or use fajita seasoning)
- 1 red onion, sliced
- 2 mixed peppers, sliced – we used red and orange
- 198g tin sweetcorn, drained
- 2 avocados, roughly chopped
- 100g frozen peas, cooked
- Juice 1 lime
- 4 large or 6 small tortilla wraps
- 2 x 250g pouches cooked basmati rice
- 125g mature cheddar, grated
- Handful fresh coriander
You’ll also need
- Microwave
- Compostable baking paper
Method
- Heat 1 tsp of the oil in a large frying pan. Add the sausages and cook for 9-10 minutes until cooked through, breaking into small chunks with a wooden spoon. Add the spice mix and fry for 1 minute more, then remove with a slotted spoon.
- Heat the remaining 1 tsp oil in the same pan and fry the onion and peppers for 5 minutes. Stir in the corn and fry for another 2 minutes.
- Put the avocados, peas, lime juice and some salt and pepper in a mini blender and whizz until smooth – or mash with a fork for a chunkier texture.
- Warm the tortillas and rice in the microwave according to the pack instructions, then set each tortilla on a square of baking paper. Divide the grated cheese, veg mixture, sausage and most of the coriander and hot rice among the tortillas. Add a dollop of guacamole, then roll up each tortilla and secure with the baking paper.
- Heat a dry frying pan and add the burritos in their wrappers. Gently press down the burritos and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until you can see through the paper that the tortilla is golden. Slice in half and serve with the remaining guacamole and coriander.
