my lunch is better than your lunch: roasted veggie vegan burritos

I just made the best lunch ever. There is no photographic evidence of lunch since my camera batteries died. You’ll just have to take my word for it. This recipe should make quite a few burritos and I’ve got lots left over and looking forward to eating the leftovers.

roasted veggie vegan burritos
(No cheese & still so tasty…but feel free to add cheese if the mood strikes)

1. Dice up 1/2 onion, 2 potatoes, 3 yams into large chunks & put into a bowl. Add 1 T of olive oil, 1 t maple syrup, 1 t chipotle powder, juice of 1/2 a lime and some salt. Mix & dump into baking sheet & put into 450 degree oven. Half way through cooking (about 15 minutes in), add 1 zucchini chopped into half moon shaped thick slices. Remove from oven when soft & roasty looking.

2. Heat up some refried beans and spread a large spoonful of the beans onto a flour tortilla. Add a large spoonful of the roasted veggies and top with fresh salsa and some cilantro leaves. Eat.

    Burritos! I’m being haunted by burritos! They’ve become a really “in” thing here in Toronto; Burrito Boys in the clubbing district draws a killer crowd for their halibut burritos, and Big Fat Burrito in Kensington Market draws ’em in for good cheap eats, and there’s another one in Little Italy whose name eludes me right now. And then I read about your tasty yam burritos, and guess what I’m suddenly craving?! Mmmm!

    Yum – I love burritos! I’m actually afraid of moving away from California in fear of mediocre burritos …. I’m gonna have to try your method!

    Tania, halibut burritos sound divine!

    Thanks Michele & Crystal, they were very delicious.

    Yes, Ivonne, you should 😉

    Rorie, California burritos are the best I’ve ever had. True. Mmmmm, right now I’m thinking of SF mission burritos from Pancho Villa. So tasty! These, are an excellent substitute, really!

    Karina, thanks for finding me! This was seriously a great lunch. I had it the next day substituting black beans for the refried ones, and it was even better! Yum!
