I was making a white bean dip the other day and had no pita bread so as usual I used what I had which was tortillas that I heated on skillet to make them more like chips. The second I tasted the white bean dip with the tortilla combo I was like, oh yeah, a white bean burrito, Duh! So I switched up the dip recipe to replace the basil with cilantro and added cumin for a more Mexican flavor. I had also been wanting to make my own tortillas for several weeks now so my chance was finally here. Knowing a basic bean burrito would not be delicious enough for J I added fresh pico de gallo and a creamy chipotle sauce. I forgot how much I love, love, love, chipotle flavor. It’s one of my favorites for sure. It’s been a long time since I tasted my old friend and I promise I will not leave you again chipotle. Well, J L-O-V-E-D these. Next time I will be going for a fish taco found at Tiny Urban Kitchen which is also where the pico de gallo and creamy chipotle sauce recipes were found. These burritos are not only great tasting but made completely from scratch and healthy whole foods!

Homemade Tortilla
Recipe found at Texas Rolling Pins.
- Ingredients
- 1-1/2 c. whole wheat flour
- 1 t. baking powder
- 1/2 t. salt
- 2-3 T. vegetable shortening
- about 1/2 plus 1/8 c. warm water
- Preparation
Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add vegetable shortening. Use a fork to cut in the shortening or just use your hands. Add warm water a little at a time until soft and not sticky.
Knead the dough for a few minutes then form into 6 equal dough balls. Let them rest for at least 10 minutes or longer.
Heat skillet on medium to high heat.
It is a good idea to dust each ball with a little flour just before you roll them out. Roll them out fairly thin.
Lay your tortilla on the hot skillet. It takes just a few seconds to cook. Flip to the other
side.
