VeganMoFo: I'm sorry!

For not posting.
I've been muy busy, but I have a small gift for you...

Have you ever been to Pokez?
Well, then you probably know about their awesome burritos.

I'm a freaking tease and I don't have a recipe for my recreation of the pokez tofu and potato burrito(s), but here's a picture. -I think I got pretty close!-

UPDATE:

Alright! As I've already said, I don't have a recipe for this, but I'll write down some directions.
Are you cool with that? Yeah, you are? Okay!

I peeled a large russet potato, diced it and boiled about 1/4 of it. I pan fried the rest (I used olive oil), along with some minced white onion, minced garlic and creole seasoning. I mashed the potatoes (not completely) with a tbsp tomato sauce, bouillon powder and veggie broth to moisten things up.

I threw a piece of seeded tomato in the pot where the potato bits were boiling, then took everything out until tender.

To make the sauce, I blended the hell out of the boiled potatoes/tomato with a bit of tomato sauce, veggie broth and garlic-parsley salt.

Ok, and for the tofu part, I used about 1/3 block of tofu, teared it in medium-ish pieces, pan fried and seasoned with more garlic-parsley salt and -fresh- cracked black pepper.

Filling: I mixed the mashed potatoes and tofu and used a bit of pico de gallo for one of the burritos.
I rolled them and then poured the sauce over the burritos.

Sorry if the directions are weird and/or boring, hah.

Chilaquiles (rojos)

This is one of my favorite things to eat.. Chilaquiles (red, to be specific, because there are variations; like green and in mole sauce) : D !
Basically, they're tortilla chips (totopos) covered with sauce.
The usual toppings are sour cream, crumbled cheese, diced/sliced onion and other things you can mix in, like meat (beef or chicken) and/or scrambled eggs.

I like them plain, and sometimes eat them along some refried pinto or bayo beans.
You can eat them just like I do : p or pour over better than sour cream and "cheese" (grated is better ;) ).
You can use tofu to substitute the scrambled eggs or seitan, chik'n strips or soy curls to substitute the meat.

PS.
I like mine all soft and saucy, but if you don't, just put desired amount of tortilla chips in your plate and pour over the sauce when ready to eat.






Ingredients:

4 tomatoes
2 1/4 cups plain tomato sauce
1 tsp. guajillo pepper powder
1 tsp. de árbol pepper powder
1 tsp. california pepper powder
veggie (vegan) bouillon powder as needed (or salt and dried cilantro or spice of choice)

12 handfuls of tortilla chips (less, if you plan to pour the sauce over them)

Put in the blender all the ingredients (except for the bouillon or salt) and blend until smooth.
Pour the sauce in a pan and let it heat a bit (stir if needed).
Add the bouillon powder/salt; stir and add the tortilla chips.
Turn the heat off and stir gently to get all the tortilla chips covered with the sauce.
Enjoy : )

Bean-crumble burrito

Tried to make beanballs; they were too soft, but tasty.

I was planning to serve them with rice and some sauce from the post above...but someone got rid of the cooked rice that was in the fridge waiting to be eaten by me.
So, I said something like "pff.. ya qué?!" and thought it would be nice to put those beanballs in a flour tortilla and call it a burrito.

I mashed the beanballs when rolling and pressing the tortilla to make the eating part a little easier, hah.

I'd post the recipe for the beanballs but the balls didn't turn out right enough to do that (i will, but first, i have to perfect it).
These are the main ingredients i used: low fat refried (bayo) beans, morning star grillers crumbles and vital wheat gluten.

Caldillo de chipotle

My first recipe !

This one's a sorta modified basic (you can leave out the chipotle sauce and add more tomatoes, veggie broth or water). You can pour it over some chiles rellenos, beanballs with rice or whatever you like.

Ingredients:

8 oz. Chipotle adobo sauce
3 Roma tomatoes cut into octaves
1 1/2 tsp. Minced garlic
1/4 cup Vegetable broth
Salt


Blend tomatoes with chipotle sauce, garlic and veggie broth until smooth.
Bring to boil, stirring occasionally.
Has the sauce reached its boiling point? okay then, wait about 5 minutes and turn the heat off.
You can now add some salt to taste.
Let the sauce stand for a few minutes and after that, it'll be ready to use !

Sorry, i know that's a crappy picture, but my camera's auto-focus is broken or something, besides, i'm not a very talented food photographer as you obviously can see, hah : ( !
Anyway...remember, my pictures may be hideous, but my recipes are not ; ) !
