A friend asked me for a recipe for sattvic burrito wrap.
Burritos are the traditional food of Mexican people but originated in Texas. It is a common food sold on roadside stands. Burrito is a roll filled with choice of meat, cheese, and vegetables. The over covering is made of wheat, flour, or corn. Some burritos are rolled tightly and deep fried. Burritos can be spicy or mild depending on the choice of the person. Burritos are usually served with salsa, Jalapeno sauce (green chilies), and tomato ketchup.
