Quinoa Burrito or Taco Filling

I have been getting really creative with nutritional yeast lately! Trying it everywhere and frankly I just love the stuff. Usually when we make these burritos I don't add the the yeast but tried it tonight and loved it! Thought I would share..... by the way, there were none left over and I usually have a salad with dinner but skipped it tonight and had seconds YUM!

Ingredients:

1 cup quinoa
2 cups vegetable broth
1 cup cooked black/red/pinto beans
1/4 - 1/2 cup nutritional yeast (to taste)
Sea Salt (to taste)
White Pepper (to taste)
Garlic Powder to taste (optional)

Directions:

Toast dry quinoa in pan until fragrant. Add vegetable broth and bring to a boil. Cover and simmer until tender. Add remaining ingredients cover, and heat over low flame until beans are warm.


I served these topped with our go to homemade taco sauce and they were AMAZING!!!!

Black Bean Burritos

This week we are super sick, again! Having a daycare in my home and raising children we are just always coming in contact with new stuff so for dinner I need - easy! I always crock pot my beans and freeze them in 1 cup portions for later use. By using some black beans and salsa I made a easy, healthy and preservative free dinner and everyone was pretty happy!

Ingredients:

2 cups black beans
1/2 cup salsa
1 cup cooked brown rice
tortillas
1 cup chopped spinach
1 tomato, diced
Veganaise to taste

Directions:

Combine the black beans, salsa, and rice in a small pan and simmer for a few minutes.

Heat tortillas until soft and spread filling down the center. Top with spinach, tomato, salsa and veganaise.

Light dinner for a sick family is served!

Veggie Wraps

Do you ever grill or bake your veggies? Do you ever end up with left overs? I always go on the heavy side when I cut up my veggies because left over veggie wraps for lunch are amazing!

 

There is no recipe for these healthy snacks, all you need is about 1/2 - 1 cup left over veggies per person. Next warm up your tortilla and place condiment such as Vegenaise in the tortilla and fill with left over veggies. I added two romaine lettuce leaves and one green onion. That's it, yeah I know it's so simple but when I tell people about how to make this, most people have never tried it. 

So enjoy!
