Green Burritos

One of my favorites. You'd never know it was dairy-free!

And that's the way vegan cooking should be...

Ingredients:

7 Flour Tortillas (white or wheat)
Chopped olives
1 1/2 - 2 15oz cans Refried Beans

Layer the beans and olives in equal amounts among the 7 tortillas. Roll like a burrito. In a 9x13 casserole dish, place the burritos side by side and then make the sauce:

1/4 cup Earth Balance Margarine
4 Tbsp Flour
2 Cups Water
2 tsp Chicken-like Seasoning
1 tsp Lawry's Seasoning
1 Cup Vegan Sour Cream
4 oz Mild Green Chilis

Instructions:

Combine Earth Balance and flour in a saucepan over medium heat. When it's hot and bubbling add the rest of the ingredients and stir with a whisk until thickened. Pour the sauce over the burritos in the 9x13 pan and cook at 350 degrees till hot and bubbly - usually about 30 minutes.

Potato Carrot Cheese

Everyone needs to try this recipe. I could sit and dip chips in this cheese at every meal, I think. I like that it has lots of fiber and nutrients. It's a little cheaper than some recipes because the base is made from potatoes and carrots. It is bursting with flavor! Ingredients: 2 C cooked potatoes 1 C cooked carrots 1/2 C nutritional yeast, scant 1/2 C water (use from cooked potatoes and carrots) 1/3 C light olive oil 1 Tbsp lemon juice 2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp chicken-style seasoning 1/4 tsp garlic powder 1/4 tsp onion powder 2 oz pimientos Instructions: Put all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Serve with chips, on broccoli, as macaroni and cheese, on lasagna. This is so very yummy!
