Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • 3 portabella mushrooms
  • 1 each red, yellow, and orange bell pepper
  • 2 cubes vegan bouillon
  • 3/4 cup water
  • 6 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup vegan soy cheese (shredded), any kind you want
  • 1/2 cup vegan sour cream
  • any extra veggies you might want

Directions:

Before you start, heat up the water to HOT in
the microwave. Mush up the bouillon cubes
and dissolve them in the water. (You may
have to re-heat to get the cubes to dissolve).
Cut the mushrooms into strips and marinade
them in the veggie broth. Marinade these
for at least 10 minutes. While that’s doin’,
remove tops and seeds from bell peppers
and cut into strips. Arrange vegan cheese and
sour cream nicely (this is your side plate)
and put it in the fridge. Pour some of the
marinade into a skillet-pan and toss in the
peppers. Let these cook for about 5 minutes-
then toss in the rest of the marinade and the
mushrooms. Cook these, stirring regularly,
until they are desired tenderness. Turn the
heat off; wrap the tortillas in a paper towel
and microwave for 30 seconds or so (until
warm). Put together fajitas as desired!
MMMMM-mmmmmm!

Dragonfly Burritos

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

  • heaping 1/2 cup Dragonfly’s uncheese sauce mix
  • 1 bunch fresh spinach, washed well, chopped
  • 8 oz of fresh mushrooms, slivered
  • 1 large or 2 medium onions, finely chopped
  • 8 oz soft silken tofu, blended very smooth like pudding
  • 2 dozen whole grain corn tortillas
  • 1 batch Dragonfly’s Green Chili for Smothering, minus the textured soy protein chunks, and blended smooth.

Directions:

Using 3/4 cup of water, add the dry cheese sauce
mix and whisk over heat till thick, should be
very thick. Fold in the silken tofu, chopped
veggies and stir. Allow to cool a bit.

Steam the corn tortillas. I do this in a covered
dish in the microwave for about 5 minutes for two
dozen, slightly separated.

In an oblong pan, coat the bottom with the
sauce. Using about 2 tablespoons of filling,
fill and roll each softened tortilla and place in
the sauce in the pan, but don’t let them unroll.
Continue till you are out of sauce and
tortillas. Smother them with more sauce, as in
really drown them. Bake at 350 degrees for about
20-30 minutes, till bubbly.

I loved these. I added more sauce when I served
them because I like them all gooey, saucy and
creamy.

Serves: 4-6

Preparation time: 1 hour and baking time
