Vegan Costa Rican Traditional Cuisines, Part 2 of 2 - Gallo Pinto Burrito and Creamy Tomato Soup with Smoky Flavor

Has it ever happened to you that sometimes you have some leftover food from the day before, or even from breakfast? Well, to be green, turning those leftovers into a type of burrito is one way to eat them. Today, Marianella will show us how to make the traditional Costa Rican lunch, Gallo Pinto Burrito from the leftover of the breakfast made in part 1 of the show. She will also make a creamy tomato soup with the smoky flavor. “Let’s make the burrito now. We take the wheat tortilla, and meanwhile, we turn on the heat. This is the salad to put in the burrito. Let’s wrap our burrito and put it in the pan for some time to warm it up.” “Let’s fry these vegetables and the tortillas with some oil. We will let it release its fragrance a little, and then we put it into the blender with a little water. We add the chickpeas and our [stir-fried] mixture in the blender….” “Our lunch is ready, the gallo pinto burrito and the tomato soup. You can see that it is filled with protein, both from the chickpeas and the beans.”
