Method:

  • Heat a large frying pan or wok, add the oil and fry the onion and pepper for 3-4 minutes or until they start to brown.

  • Add the jerk seasoning and fry for a further minute. Stir in the kidney beans and the cooked rice and stir through. Add the spicy barbecue sauce or barbecue sauce mixed with chilli sauce and stir on a low heat until everything is coated in sauce.

  • For the corn salsa: In a small bowl mix the corn, coriander, chilli, spring onions, tomatoes, lime juice, oil and seasoning.

  • Warm the wraps according to the packet instructions. Spoon some of the filling down the centre (leaving about 7cm at the bottom) Fold the bottom of the wrap up, then fold in both sides to finish making your burrito.

  • Serve with a side of corn salsa if using, and a spoonful of soured cream before squeezing lime juice before devouring!
