Ingredients Needed
- 4 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup cooked chickpeas
- 1/2 pound ground beef or lamb
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chopped tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons North African chili paste or harissa
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, yogurt, lemon wedges
Preparation Steps
Begin by heating olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped onions and garlic, sautéing until fragrant and translucent. Then, add the ground meat and cook until browned.
Stir in the North African chili paste, cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the spices to release their aroma. Add chopped tomatoes and cooked chickpeas, simmering for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens.
While the filling simmers, warm the tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave. Spoon the spicy meat and chickpea mixture onto each tortilla, then roll them up tightly to form burritos.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the burritos hot, garnished with chopped cilantro and a dollop of yogurt. Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice for extra brightness. These burritos are great for a quick breakfast or a brunch gathering with friends.
Enjoy the bold, spicy flavors of North Africa to kick-start your day with energy and excitement!
