In a medium skillet, over medium-low heat, add oil and sauté onions, tomatoes, cayenne pepper, cumin powder, and turmeric for 1 minute. Add boiled moong (see below) and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add the cilantro to make the filling; divide into four equal parts.

5

In a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat, place the tortilla and spread one part of the burrito filling in the center of the tortilla; sprinkle cheese on top. Fold one long side over the top of the filling; now fold up two short ends of the tortilla to contain the burrito filling in the center and heat for 2 to 3 minutes.

Repeat step #2 with the remaining 3 portions of the burrito filling and 3 tortillas to make a total of 4 spicy moong burritos.

Enjoy with any chutney or salsa.

Chef's Tip:

To decrease the sodium content further, compare and choose a tortilla and/or cheese, respectively, with lower sodium content. You may also wish to choose corn tortillas which will have lower sodium content.
