CHICKPEA AND MILLET BURRITOS

Kicking off 2019 with a wholesome vegan burrito recipe including two of my favorite ingredients: chickpea and millet. Chickpea and millet burritos are super easy to make plant-based and along with pastas and pizzas, one of the most family-friendly recipes at the berry house.

Usually we have bean and rice burritos, but I wanted something different for January. Millet is a nutritious gluten-free grain with a nutty flavor, sort of like quinoa, but milder and creamier in flavor and consistency. I know quinoa would be even more nourishing (being a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids), but my kids aren’t huge fans. And since this is a family-friendly recipe, I made these burritos exactly the way we eat them.

Chickpeas are without a doubt the most used legume at the Berry house. It has been so since the very start of my veggie life in 2014. Most of the time I use a shortcut and have canned ready-to-eat chickpeas in the pantry. This is just one of the shortcuts making my life a little easier. And I really love the canned ones with enough brine to make aquafaba, which I use in baking or to make this dreamy mousse.

Burritos are a great way to eat veggies you wouldn’t normally eat, but which are good for you like cabbage or celery. My kids are not huge fans of either, but inside a burrito they taste delicious when all the flavors merge together.

Here’s my secret tip for really yummy burritos: crumble a few tortilla chips inside! I think this is what my kids love most about eating burritos 🙂

Wishing you a happy & healthy start to January!

Love,

Tiina
