Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 4 cups cooked or thawed frozen squash
  • 1 small container of vegan cream cheese
  • 1 large onion
  • 1-2 tablespoon chili powder
  • corn oil
  • bottled enchilada sauce to cover
  • guacamole

Directions:

Chop the onion very fine and saute in
the olive oil until quite soft. In a
bowl mix the squash, cream cheeze, chili
powder, and sauteed onion. Divide it and
roll it up in the eight tortillas, and
place in a shallow casserole side by
side. Cover with enchilada sauce, and
bake at 325 for 10 or 15 minutes (until
the tortillas are done- this varies
greatly with the brand you use- and the
sauce is hot).

Serve topped with
guacamole and chopped cilantro.

NOT low fat! Unless they make fat free
vegan cream cheese, and you leave out the
guacamole. . .but it sure is good!

Serves: 4

Preparation time: 45 min

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 1 onion
  • as much garlic as you like
  • 6 ripe tomatoes; diced
  • 1 lb red new potatoes cubed
  • 3/4 cup corn
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 1/2 cup vegan white wine
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1 teaspoon dry oregano
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (coriander)
  • 1 can vegan refried beans
  • tortillas
  • your favorite salsa
  • hot sauce

Directions:

Saut� the onion in a large pot with a
little oil until it’s soft, but not
browned (about 5 min). Then add your
garlic and cook for another 2 min or
so. Once they’ve softened you can add
your tomatoes, potatoes, corn, wine,
salt, pepper, chili powder and
oregano. Cover and simmer at Med heat
for about 10 or 15 minutes, then add
your zucchini. Cover it again and
simmer some more until the potatoes are
cooked and the liquid it mostly
evaporated. The time that takes
depends upon the size of your
potatoes… usually about 10 or 15
minutes more.

Once your potatoes are soft, remove
them from the heat and stir in your
cilantro. Set aside. (You can
refrigerate this mixture if you’re
planning ahead.)

Spread your refried beans onto your
tortillas, then add the cooked tater
mixture and hot sauce. Roll up and
place in baking dish. Repeat until
your dish is full of burritos. Spoon
your salsa over the top of the burritos
and place in the oven at 350 just until
your beans are heated up and the salsa
soaked in to your tortillas a bit.

Enjoy!
