Spinach Roti Burrito With Shredded Chicken Chaat
Oven time 50-55 min
Burrito translates to ‘little donkey’ in Mexico, so called because when folded on one side to stop the filling from falling out, it resembles a donkey’s ear. Traditional Mexican burritos are made with warm tortillas filled with spicy fillings of chicken or beef, rice and refried beans, and are super satisfying. Our spinach roti burritos recipe, created by Hari Ghotra, are filled with a tangy chicken chaat flavoured with 'amchoor' (dry mango powder) and yoghurt rice. They are the perfect nod to the classic Mexican burrito but served with a bit of Indian flair.
