Green gram dal and purple cabbage burrito

In my fridge you will always find corn tortillas. I use them to make tacos and burritos. I make veggie burritos by stuffing tortillas with fresh grilled veggies and black beans. Its a quick and healthy week day dinner.
I had some sprouted green gram dal left over and I used them instead of black beans in the burrito. It came out well. I wanted to share the recipe with you all..
