Do you know the fastest mouse from Mexico ? Unfortunately, this one doesn’t have a program today, but the fastest burrito ever is on the agenda. Vegan Mexican food is one of my all-time favorites and I can’t get enough of it. Especially once I’m in the mood for something hearty and then best with lots of beans and a delicious salsa. The nice side effect of Mexican food is also that it reminds you of the great beaches, sun and sea. Just now, when autumn begins with us, a beautiful thing or? Then let’s get started.
Vegan Mexican food? Give it to me!
There is one thing to keep in mind when making burritos and that is organization. In fact, the recipe consists of four components: The bean vegetables, the tomato salsa, the couscous and the yogurt sauce. In addition, there are also the wraps. I solved this right away by preparing all the ingredients perfectly and dividing them into groups. After all, when I’m on a cooking kick, everything has to go fast and be ready. Checklist oven preheated, pan on the stove, ingredients in place. Boom!
A quite wonderful thing is the couscous, as it is really super quick to make. Quite unlike rice, quinoa or other grains, it is just poured over with hot water and seasoned. In 5 minutes you can then already use it. A wonderful thing!
Viva la Burritos!
Let’s move on to the bean vegetables, which are also quick and easy from the hand. Frying oil, garlic, sweet corn, kidney beans, cumin, coriander, bird eye chili and lime juice. Then there is a delicious tomato salsa with garlic, onions, bird eye chili, tomatoes, sea salt, maple syrup, lime juice and cilantro. This delicious vegan and Mexican dish is topped off with a great yogurt sauce made with plant-based yogurt, lime juice and maple syrup. You can either make the wraps yourself or buy them at a well-stocked organic supermarket. I opted for store-bought whole wheat wraps in this case.
Let the Burrito Party begin!
Here we go! Are you with us? Get the pan hot, get the blender ready and let’s go! This dish is especially good as a quick vegan lunch, dinner or snack in between. Want dessert? How about a Caramel pudding ? Hmmmmmm….
