Description

A great filling for tacos or tortillas. Serve with fresh salsa.

Ingredients

  • 1 head broccoli florets, cut into bite-size florets
  • 1⁄2 head cauliflower, cut into bite-size florets
  • 2 carrots, finely chopped
  • 1 zucchini, finely chopped
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 4 clv garlic, finely chopped or pressed
  • 1 tbsp Dr. Fuhrman's Vegi-Zest or other no-salt seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried basil
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 cup cashews, raw
  • 1 cup soy milk, unsweetened
  • 1 15-oz can pinto beans, no or low salt, drained
  • 8 whole wheat tortilla wraps
  • 1⁄2 block Follow Your Heart Nacho soy cheese, grated (optional)

Instructions

Chop vegetables into small pieces by hand or in a food processor. In a large covered pot, water saute the vegetables with herbs and spices in 1/4 to 1/2 cup water for 15 minutes or until tender.

In the meantime, place cashews and soy milk in food processor and blend until smooth. Add cashew/soy milk mixture and beans to the veggies and mix thoroughly.

Rather than using canned beans, try soaking one cup of dry pinto or kidney beans overnight in about 6 cups water, then rinse them, and place them in a pressure cooker. Add one cup water and 1 tsp chipotle chili powder, bring to pressure and cook for 6 minutes. Turn off heat and let pressure come down naturally.

Spread veggie-bean-cashew mixture on tortilla, add optional soy cheese if using, and roll up to form burrito.
