For the bean and rice burrito
Method
To make the tomato relish, mix together all the ingredients in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
To make the burritos, heat a small frying pan over a medium heat and warm the beans through for 3-5 minutes, or cook for 1 minute in the microwave. Add the sweetcorn and mix well. Taste and add salt and pepper if necessary.
Warm the tortilla wraps for 10 seconds in a microwave or in a dry pan over a medium heat until warm and softened.
To assemble, divide the cooked rice and beans between the eight tortilla wraps. Squeeze a little lime juice over each of them. Spoon over the tomato relish and the yoghurt and roll up to enclose each burrito. Serve warm.
