🛒 Ingredients

✓ 1.5 cups sweet sticky rice (glutinous rice), uncooked
✓ 1.75 cups light coconut milk (divided)
✓ 1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt
✓ 1.5 tbsp honey
✓ 1 tbsp low-fat evaporated milk
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 4 large banana leaves (or parchment paper)
✓ 3 ripe mangoes, peeled, pitted, and sliced into 12 pieces total
✓ 3/4 cup light coconut milk (for sauce)
✓ 1/4 cup 0% Greek yogurt (for sauce)
✓ 1 tbsp honey
✓ 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
✓ Pinch of sea salt
✓ 2 tbsp toasted sesame seeds (optional garnish)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. Prepare the sticky rice: Rinse sticky rice under cold water until water runs clear (3-4 minutes). Drain well. Cook according to package directions or in a rice cooker with 1.5 cups water until tender and sticky, about 20-25 minutes.

2. Make the creamy sauce: While rice cooks, whisk together 3/4 cup light coconut milk, 1/4 cup Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp honey, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and pinch of salt in a small saucepan. Heat gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until just steaming (do not boil). Remove from heat and set aside.

3. Season the hot rice: Transfer cooked sticky rice to a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of the reserved creamy sauce over the hot rice while stirring gently to combine. Let sit for 5 minutes to absorb flavors. The rice should be moist but not soupy.

4. Prepare banana leaves: If using fresh banana leaves, briefly pass them over a gas flame or dip in hot water to soften and make pliable. Lay out flat on a clean work surface. If using parchment, cut into 10-inch squares.

5. Assemble the burrito: Place one banana leaf flat. Spoon 1/2 cup seasoned sticky rice in the center horizontally. Top with 3 mango slices arranged in a line. Fold the bottom third of the leaf up over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly, and roll away from you like a burrito. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet. Repeat with remaining leaves and fillings (makes 4 burritos).

6. Optional warm serving: For warm burritos, place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet and cover loosely with foil. Warm in a 300°F oven for 8-10 minutes until heated through. For room-temperature or chilled, skip this step.

7. Drizzle with remaining sauce: Place warm or room-temperature burrito on a plate. Drizzle with remaining creamy sauce (about 2-3 tbsp per burrito) and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds if desired.

8. Rest before serving: Let burritos rest for 2-3 minutes if warm, allowing flavors to settle and the banana leaf to impart subtle fragrance. Serve immediately.
