Ingredients:

200 grams paneer, cubed
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Salt to taste
1 large onion, sliced
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 green bell pepper, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 large flour tortillas
1 cup cooked brown rice
1 cup black beans, cooked
1/2 cup corn kernels
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
1 avocado, sliced
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salsa
Lime wedges for serving

Preparation Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the paneer cubes and sprinkle with smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook until the paneer is golden on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Sauté the onion, red and green bell peppers, and garlic until they are soft and slightly caramelized, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Warm the flour tortillas according to package instructions to make them pliable.
  • Assemble the burritos: On each tortilla, layer the brown rice, black beans, corn, sautéed vegetables, cooked paneer, fresh cilantro, avocado slices, a dollop of sour cream, and salsa.
  • Fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling and roll up tightly to enclose.
  • Serve each burrito with a wedge of lime to squeeze over just before eating.
