I’ve been enjoying the act of eating with my hands lately more than ever. The idea of having all the delicious flavors of a meal come together in one bite that goes into my mouth with my hands seems soothing to me. To facilitate this I have relied on the wonderful tortilla.
The tortilla is a easy and versatile food that can be used to make the most wonderful of portable entries. I have been enjoying the use of the tortilla to wrap up the meals that I create and enjoy them. The tortillas that I use are rice tortillas, however there are many varieties including; corn and wheat.
Here is a simple and easy recipe for Veggie Bean Rice Burrito that rocked my world.
Beans- Any kind will due; check your taste buds for what interests you. What I used was aduki beans. These can be cooked easily with basil or parsley, garlic and some shoyu or Braggs for salty taste. I mash mine so they are easier to digest after soaking them overnight and cooking them in plenty of water.
Rice- I used sticky white sushi rice combined with brown rice. I left it unseasoned.
Vegetables- A combination of vegetables is a nice way to have variety of color, texture and flavoring. I used zucchini, yellow squash, butternut squash. I cooked these with onions and scallions with a little shoyu for salt. The addition of dill seasoning is nice. I also enjoy adding a dab of Veganase dressing to give it a bit of a creamy feel.
Mix the rice and the vegetables together, lay down the beans and wrap it up!
You got yourself a meal that will really satisfy.
Hope you find your hands wrapped around a nice burrito of your own making too.
In health,
Safara
