DIY Mr. Kate Vegan Burrito Night!
What You Need:
- whole wheat, sprouted or gluten-free tortillas
- 1 package of tempeh
- 1 package of taco seasoning
- 1 can of vegetarian/vegan refried beans
- 1 white or yellow onion chopped
- shredded romaine lettuce
- vegan cheese (optional)
- guacamole - i like the packaged one from Trader Joe's
- salsa
- salt
- agave (optional)
- cooking oil
- preheat your oven to 400 degrees
- saute your chopped onion in a pan with a sploosh of oil. let them get translucent then add a little salt and a teaspoon(ish) of agave to caramelize the onions.
- add your crumbled tempeh - you may need to chop it, think taco meat sized pieces.
- add about 3/4 of your package of taco seasoning. you can use more or less, taste as you go! if you don't have taco seasoning use: paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and chili powder and a little more salt.
- when your tempeh is nice and mixed with the onions and seasoning, add your can of refried beans and mix in. turn off the heat.
- spread your bean/tempeh/onion mixture on a tortilla and slice some cheese to lay on top - leave it open-faced.
- pop the tortilla in the oven for about 5 minutes to heat up the tortilla and melt the cheese a bit.
- take out of the oven and pile on your guacamole, lettuce and salsa. roll it up and stuff it in! yummmmm!
