Air Fryer Burrito

While browsing Trader Joe’s I noticed their eggplant with tomatoes and onions in a can and thought: huh, that would go really well with some of Heyday’s beans in a can. Specifically, their coconut curry or harissa lemon chickpeas. I decided to try combining them over rice, and topping it all with cheese and yogurt. The result was pretty good for something I just dumped in a bowl and microwaved.

Here’s how I made it, with possible substitutions:

• Cooked brown rice: I bought it frozen and microwaved it, but any cooked rice will work.
• 1 can Heyday coconut curry chickpeas: could be any can of chickpeas + a sauce if needed.
• 1 can Trader Joe’s eggplant with tomatoes & onions: could be any cooked vegetable, whether home-cooked, canned, or jarred, like roast peppers.
• Crumbled cheese: I used stilton with apricots (also from TJ’s) because that’s what I had, but feta or goat cheese might be a better fit.
• Optional: Dollop of yogurt, fresh cilantro, flatbread or wrap.

1. Layer rice, chickpeas, and eggplant in a bowl.
2. Microwave for one minute.
3. Top with cheese and yogurt.
4. Enjoy!
