Day 126!

Hello everyone!

The weather has been so nice out lately, most the recipes I have been creating lately have been more on the lighter side.   This recipe is not though, haha. I have also been going through stages of items I love to cook, currently its Mexican.  Today I will be sharing with you a Vegan Black Bean Burrito Recipe with Homemade Guacamole and Lime Cilantro Rice.  I will show you how to make all of that, and a Vegan Hummus Recipe!

Vegan Black Bean and Rice Burrito:

2 Cups Cilantro Lime Rice with Corn
1 Can Black Beans (I used canned because it was easier, but fresh would be better)
3 Cups Homemade Guacamole
1/2 Head of Romaine Shredded
1 Tomato Diced
1 Red Onion Diced
3 Cloves Garlic, Minced
1 Jalapeno, De-seeded and Minced
1 Package of Vegan Burrito Wraps (It just happens the brand I found at the grocery store was vegan, I bought at Stop N Shop)
Oil to Coat Pan

Get a pot on the stove on medium, add oil.  Add the garlic, red onion and jalapenos and cook for two minutes.  Add the black beans, make sure to drain the can of the liquids and just cook down.

The romaine and tomato I left raw and just added to the burrito

Heat the burrito wrappers up in the oven for 2-3 minutes at 400. Just to make it soft.


Cilantro Lime Rice:
2 Cups Rice
4 Cups of Water
3 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Cilantro
Juice of 3 Limes
2 Ears of Fresh Corn, Taken off the cob and pre-cooked
3 Garlic Cloves, Minced
Oil to Coat Pan
Salt to taste

Get a pot on the stove heat on high add the oil and garlic cook for a minute to take out bitterness, add the rice and toast for a minute.  Add the water and salt the water, cook the water down until you see the rice, turn to low and cover and let cook 5-10 minutes, depending on the type of rice you have.  (I buy mine at a Brazilian specialty store, so its really hard to mess it up, some rices from the supermarkets are hard to work with.)

Once the rice is cooked add the cilantro, corn and fresh lime juice.  Just mix.  You want to serve this hot with the burrito.

Homemade Guacamole:
3 Avocados, halved and insides taken out.
1 Red Onion, Minced
Juice of 3 Limes
2 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Cilantro
Salt to taste

Place avocados in a bowl and mash up, add the rest of the ingredients, so easy!  Ha!

Assemble how every you want.

Vegan Burrito!

Vegan Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

1 Roasted Red Pepper, Ready to go

3 Cloves, Fresh Minced Garlic

1 Can Chickpeas, Skinned (Makes for a creamier hummus)

1 Cup Sesame Seed Tahini

Salt to taste

In a food processor add the tahini and mix for 2 minutes.  Add the rest of the ingredients and mix for about 1-2 minutes.  That is it, I wanted to put this recipe here to show how easy it is to make a homemade hummus instead of buying store bought.

So yummy!

I'm leaving for a cruise in a few days, I hope to review on the vegan meals they serve!

Namaste,
