Ingredients

  • 1 large whole wheat or flour tortilla (burrito-size)

  • 1 cup cilantro rice

  • 2 tablespoons tomato salsa

  • 2 tablespoons sour cream

  • ½ cup veggie salad (lettuce, cabbage, bell peppers, carrots, cucumber)

  • 100g grilled paneer, cubed

  • 2 tablespoons bechamel sauce

  • 1 tablespoon pizza pasta sauce

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Olive oil or butter for grilling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Grill the paneer
    Cut paneer into cubes and lightly season with salt and pepper. Grill or pan-sear until golden on all sides. Set aside.

  2. Prepare the veggie salad
    In a bowl, mix shredded lettuce, cabbage, julienned carrots, diced cucumber, and sliced bell peppers. Lightly season with salt and a squeeze of lime juice if desired.

  3. Warm the sauces
    Heat the bechamel and pizza pasta sauce in a small pan until warmed through. Mix them together for a creamy, tangy base.

  4. Warm the tortilla
    Heat the tortilla on a skillet for 15–20 seconds on each side to make it pliable and easy to fold.

  5. Assemble the burrito
    Lay the tortilla flat and layer with cilantro rice, grilled paneer, veggie salad, tomato salsa, sour cream, and the warm creamy sauce blend. Add salt and pepper to taste.

  6. Fold and grill (optional)
    Fold in the sides, then roll the tortilla tightly into a burrito. For a crispy finish, grill it seam-side down on a hot pan with a bit of butter or olive oil until golden.

  7. Serve
    Cut in half and serve hot with extra salsa or sour cream on the side.

Tips & Variations

  • Add extra protein- Include cooked black beans, kidney beans, or tofu to boost the protein even more.

  • Make it spicier- Add chopped jalapeños, chipotle sauce, or a sprinkle of chili flakes to bring up the heat.

  • Swap the wrap- Use a spinach or multigrain wrap for added nutrients and color variety.

  • Turn it into a bowl- Skip the wrap and layer everything in a bowl with some crushed tortilla chips on top for a deconstructed version.

  • Lighter version- Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream and reduce the amount of cheese sauce for a lower-fat alternative.
