Instructions

  1. Prepare the Rajma (Red Kidney Beans):

    • Wash and soak the red kidney beans (rajma) in water overnight.
    • In the morning, rinse the beans thoroughly and pressure cook them for about 3 whistles or until soft. Set aside.
  2. Cook the Filling:

    • Heat oil in a shallow frying pan over medium heat.
    • Add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter.
    • Add the finely chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
    • Stir in the chopped tomatoes and green chilli. Cook until the tomatoes soften and blend into the mixture.
    • Sprinkle coriander powder, red chilli powder, garam masala, and rajma masala powder into the pan. Mix well to cook the spices.
    • Add the boiled rajma (red kidney beans) and stir to coat them with the spice mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
    • Season with salt, drizzle lemon juice, mix, and turn off the heat.
  3. Prepare the Onion Salad:

    • In a small bowl, combine thinly sliced onions, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Toss well and set aside.
  4. Cook the Tortillas:

    • Heat a tawa (flat pan) over medium heat.
    • Cook the tortillas on both sides until warm and lightly browned. Optionally, brush with a little oil for added flavor.
  5. Assemble the Wraps:

    • Place a tortilla on a clean surface.
    • Add 2-3 tablespoons of the prepared rajma filling in the center.
    • Top it with a portion of the onion salad.
    • Fold the tortilla according to the instructions on its packaging, ensuring the filling is secure.
  6. Optional Step:

    • If desired, lightly pan-fry the sealed tortilla wraps on both sides to create a crisp texture.
  7. Serve:

    • Enjoy the Red Kidney Beans Tortilla Wraps warm as a wholesome meal or snack. Pair it with a refreshing Banana Almond & Prunes Smoothie or a steaming bowl of Quick Pea Soup for a complete experience.

Pro Tips:

  • Customization: You can add grated cheese, shredded lettuce, or a dollop of sour cream to enhance the flavor and texture of the wraps.
  • Time-Saving Hack: Prepare the rajma filling a day in advance and refrigerate it for quick assembly the next day.
  • Make it Spicier: Add a dash of smoked paprika or finely chopped jalapeños for an extra kick.

This fusion of Indian spices and international-style wraps is bound to be a hit with kids and adults alike. These wraps are not only healthy but also irresistibly delicious, making them a must-try for your next lunchbox idea or quick snack craving.
