Dal Makhani Burrito

Indians and Mexicans have a lot in common apart from the food. Just the other day I found out that they call their grandfather thatha as we do in Tamil.The marriage of Mexican and Indian flavors blends and creates some interesting and tasty food. During the football season my husband's friends always come over to watch the San diego Chargers play. I decided to offer them lunch instead of some snacks. This is how I came up with the burrito. I had some dal makhani from dinner and took it up another notch and used it instead of the refried beans to prepare a burrito.Next time you have some channa masala, dal makhani or any curry you can try to make it into a burrito. This main course is my entry to DK's Culinary Bazaar's A Worldly Epicurean’s Delight – In short A.W.E.D. event for the month of May.
