Ingredients
- 2 cups red potatoes, chopped
- 2 cups bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 cup chickpease, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/4 tsp chili powder, optional
- 5 whole grain tortilla
Avocado Cumin Cream
- 1 avocado
- 1/2 tsp cumin
- 2 tbsp salsa
- 1 tsp lime juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Spread the chopped potatoes out evenly and season lightly with salt and pepper. Make sure you've chopped your potatoes about 1/4 inch each. Bake for 20 minutes until tender and starting to brown. Make sure they are done by checking one with a fork.
- While the potatoes are cooking, chop your bell peppers into 2 inch strips. Get all your chickpeas, corn and spices ready. When there is about 10 minutes left cooking for your potatoes, you can start to cook the bell peppers. That way everything should be done the same time.
- Add your bell peppers to a large pan with a 1/4 cup (60g) water. Turn to medium heat and cook for 5-8 minutes until tender and the water is basically all evaporated. Don't move on to the next step until all the water has evaporated.
- Add the chickpeas, corn, salsa, cumin and chipotle chile pepper (if using). Stir well to coat everything. Cook 5-10 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce has thickened up. When the potatoes are done, stir them in last to the veggie mixture and remove the pan from the heat.
- While the veggie mixture is cooking, prepare the avocado cumin cream by processing the ingredients either in a food processor or for faster results, I just used a hand immersion blender. Blend until smooth. Add more water if you want it thinner.
- Add the cooked veggie mixture to your tortillas and drizzle the avocado cream inside and on top for presentation, if desired. Add optional chopped jalapeno for garnish.
- You can wrap extra burritos tightly in foil (minus the avocado cream) and store them in the fridge. Just reheat in a toaster oven or regular oven at 300°F until warmed through.
Notes
To increase the amount of resistant starch, after cooking the potatoes, allow them to cool completely in the fridge. Then, reheat if eating a burrito right way, otherwise build leftover burritos with cold potatoes, and they will reheat when you warm up the burritos.
