Vegetable and cheese burritos by Sattva

A few days ago, my girl and I went to Sattva, a vegetarian restaurant in downtown Buenos Aires City. It's a place we had seen from the outside for some time, and we wanted to know how their food was.


To be truth, I ate a dish that already knew, but with a few subtle differences that greatly enriched the preparation, while maintaining its nutritional and healthy values. I'm talking about a typical Mexican recipe: Vegetable and cheese burritos.


Chatting with the chef of Sattva, I asked him exactly what ingredients he used and the method of preparation, so I will share it with you now.


Ingredients for 8 burritos:


- 1 red pepper
- 1 yellow pepper
- 1 zucchini
- 1 carrot
- 2 onions
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 corn
- Olive oil
- 1 cup parmesano cheese
- Oregano to taste
- Salt and pepper to taste


Preparation:

1) In a skillet, brown the onion, the shredded carrot and garlic, cut into thin slices. Cut the peppers and zucchini into strips and add to the preparation. Add pepper and cook for 5 minutes. Finally, add the corn kernels previously cooked. Add salt and oregano to taste.

2) Heat the tortillas with vegetable spray in a skillet. Mix all vegetables and fill the tortillas with them and a thin slice of cream cheese.


3) Serve! As an accompaniment you can prepare a guacamole sauce, or a cream cheese and chives sauce; or just a light tomato sauce with chopped chili without seeds.

This dish is simply exquisite. The fried vegetables remind us of oriental preparations, while cheese gives it a western touch. The tortillas and the way to assembly the preparation is definitely the Mexican part that reminds us of the origin of this recipe.


I recommend comparing the lightness of the vegetables with a stronger sauce, like guacamole or tomato with chili. The cream cheese and chives sauce can be offered as an alternative to guests that doesn't tolerate spicy or acid sauces.


Bon appetit!
