Black Beans

15g of protein per cup, plus magnesium that helps energy production, muscle contraction, nerve signalling and post-workout recovery. Magnesium also increases serotonin production — the hormone that stabilises mood and wellbeing.

🔴
Kidney Beans

Fibre-rich and protein-dense. Their fibre fights bad bacteria, removes toxins and supports absorption of the macro and micronutrients that are the building blocks of the body.

🌽
Corn Chips

The textural wildcard that makes this burrito genuinely special. They add crunch inside the wrap — and when the burrito is pan-fried, the outer tortilla becomes golden while the chips inside stay crispy.

🥑
Guacamole

The healthy fat that makes everything taste better and helps absorb the fat-soluble vitamins from the vegetables. Also provides potassium for electrolyte balance.

Amanda's note

The recipe that will change the way you see burritos forever — particularly the crispy pan-fried exterior. Frying the assembled burrito for 2 minutes each side seals everything in and creates a golden, slightly crunchy shell that is the difference between a good burrito and a great one. The corn chips inside are not a gimmick; they are the moment of genius.
