• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon ground coriander
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 cup tomato puree
• 1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions: How to Cook Butter Chicken Burrito

1. In a bowl, marinate the chicken pieces in yogurt, garam masala, cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes.
2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes.
4. Add the marinated chicken to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Pour in the tomato puree and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
6. Warm the flour tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave.
7. Assemble the burritos by placing a spoonful of cooked rice in the center of each tortilla, followed by a generous portion of the butter chicken mixture.
8. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the chicken mixture and fold the sides of the tortilla over the filling.
9. Heat a clean skillet over medium heat and place the assembled burritos seam-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
10. Remove from the skillet, slice in half, and garnish with chopped cilantro before serving.
