¡Viva el burrito!

Be sure to read the tortilla packaging carefully. As I was buying whole wheat tortillas, I realized that many of the available varieties include honey as an ingredient, which would not make it vegan.

Ingredients:

- vegan whole wheat tortilla (I found these at Trader Joe's)

- Daiya cheddar style shreds
- chopped cilantro

- refried black beans (also found at Trader Joe's)

- salsa

- vegan sour cream (I used Tofutti)

Directions:

1. Heat desired amount of refried beans in a microwave-safe dish until hot.

2. Layer all the ingredients in the center of the tortilla and wrap.

Everything But The Kitchen Sink Salad

Ingredients:

- chunks of half an avocado

- 3 green onions, chopped

- 2 tomatoes, chopped

- 2 large radishes, chopped

- handful asparagus spears, each spear cut into three, steamed

- handful black kalamata olives, each cut in half

- half green bell pepper, chopped

- 5 oz. package of mushrooms, cut and steamed

- small head of broccoli, cut and steamed

- yellow squash, sliced and steamed

- 1/2 cup pinto beans

Directions:

1. Steam broccoli, mushrooms, asparagus, and yellow squash until cooked. Try not to overcook to preserve some of the nutrients in the vegetables. Run cooked veggies under cold water.

2. Chop all the remaining fresh vegetables.

3. Toss all veggies with some balsamic vinegar and lemon juice. Salt and pepper to taste.
