Ingredients for the Filling:
Note: This filling is perfect for 2-3 burrito-sized tortillas or 4-5 fajita-sized tortillas, depending on your preference.
- 2 medium potatoes, boiled & peeled
- 1/2 cup green peas
- 1/2 cup shelled edamame (optional, you can use peas alone)
- 1/2 cup cauliflower rice (optional)
- 1 tbsp oil (plus extra for lightly spraying the tortilla)
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp fennel seeds (optional)
- 1/2 tsp grated or finely chopped ginger
- 1/2 green chili, finely chopped
- 1 tsp coriander powder
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp red chili powder (adjust to spice level)
- 1/4 tsp amchur powder (or chaat masala as an alternative)
- 1/4 tsp hing
- 3/4 tsp salt (or to taste)
- Water as needed
**Instructions:
- Mash the boiled and peeled potatoes and set them aside.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat oil and add cumin and fennel seeds. Cook for a few seconds until fragrant.
- Add frozen peas, edamame, and riced cauliflower. You can also steam them separately and then add to save cooking time. Cook for 5-8 minutes or until they are soft, adding a few tablespoons of water if needed.
- Add green chili and ginger, cooking for a few more minutes.
- Incorporate the boiled and mashed potatoes, followed by all the spices. Use a potato masher to combine and mix well. Add another tablespoon of water if needed and cook for an additional minute or two. Remove from heat and set aside.
To Assemble:
- Use Siete Burrito Size Tortillas or any size/kind you prefer. Lightly brown both sides by spraying with oil.
- Spread a garlic and herb cheese spread (such as boursin) and chutney on one side of the tortilla.
- Add the prepared filling to half of the tortilla. Sprinkle some cheese or nutritional yeast if desired.
- Fold the tortilla in half and cook until both sides are crispy.
- Cut and serve with chutney or hot sauce.
