build your own veggie wrap

pretty, huh? and one of my better ideas, if i do say so myself.

   pretty much whatever you wanna throw out there.

in case you can't see, here's what we used....

whole spelt and spinach tortillas

red and green leaf lettuce

cucumbers

carrots

baked, marinated tofu

red cabbage

asparagus

micro greens

tomatoes

avocado

red onions

and the following condiment options:

balsamic dressing

goddess dressing

honey mustard dressing

hummus

guacamole

olive tepanade

tabbouli

dill pickles

meatless tacos/taco salad

YUM! another dinner idea with lots of flexibility to suit your taste.

ingredients:

taco shells, taco salad bowls or tortillas of choice

cooked beans of choice. lentils would work nicely.  i used my TruRoots Sprouted Bean Trio from Costco again. 

taco seasoning.  this can be homemade (such as this or this) or a healthy, low sodium packet.  i took the easy way out this time and used Nueva Cocina Taco Fresco Mix, found at Whole Foods Market.

tomato sauce

water

cooked brown rice

how to:

  cook your beans in water until they are soft.

drain well,  put in sauce pan with tomato sauce, water and taco seasoning.  heat till bubbly and most of the liquid has cooked off.

serve with rice in taco shells, taco salad bowls or tortillas with your favorite toppings.

topping suggestions:

lettuce, tomatoes, onions, corn, any variety of peppers, olives, avocado, guacamole, mango, salsa, cilantro, shredded cheese and sour cream (if you're not shooting for vegan)


these were totally sam and bethany  (my very picky 13 and 16 year old) approved tacos. sam actually thought there was meat in his taco.  SCORE!
