1. Prep Vegetables

   Dice the onion, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the fresh coriander. Set aside half of the coriander for later.

2. Sauté Onion

   Heat the large skillet over medium heat, add a splash of water or cooking spray, then add the diced onion. Cook until the onion turns translucent and lightly golden.

6. Finish with Fresh Coriander

   Stir in the remaining chopped coriander, then remove the skillet from heat.

9. Toast the Burritos

   Return the rolled burritos to the skillet over medium heat. Toast each side for about 1‑2 minutes until lightly browned and the exterior is sealed.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

10. Cool and Store

    Allow the burritos to cool for a few minutes, then wrap each individually in foil or plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
