Instructions
Cook meat with fresh garlic , onion and coconut oil until cooked through.
Add all your sessions to taste , I usually sprinkle once around the pan. Then add your coconut milk, ginger and lemon. Cook until the flavor has combined. The longer you cook it the more muted your flavors become so if you find it too strong a flavor just cook it down a little more.
Drain and rinse your beans, and drain your mango if using canned mango. And mix together.
For the rice I used leftover rice and just reheated it with some butter. I like to mix my grains, so I used brown rice, white rice, and quinoa. All mixed together. I add 1cup rice mixture to 2 cups of water, and I cook it in my instant pot for 25 minutes. It sometimes turns out a little wet but I still like it. Be sure to wash your rice before cooking. I use a sifter when I drain the washed water from the rice so I don’t lose the quinoa because it floats.
For the sauce just mix it together to taste it should be a little runny. I had some pickled red peppers from our garden that I diced up and added to the mix with a little rice vinegar! So good!
For the tortillas you can warm them in the microwave or on the stove top. I did mine on the stovetop and I used just a little bit of butter. I used a square pan which dose tortillas so nicely, I can fit four little tortillas at once. The butter made my tortillas so stretchy and good ! 🙂
Assemble your burritos and enjoy 😉
Also quick side note I drained the juice from the canned mango into a cup, added some ginger ale and ice and it paired wonderfully with the meal!
