No-Meat Burrito



These burritos will certainly fool the meal eaters out there. The Yves Veggie Original Ground Round looks  like ground beef. With the spices and salsa added to the fake meat, you will be fooled to think that it is beef (well, anyways, I do think so)

Ingredients 

  • 8 flour tortilla
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 package (343g) Yves Veggie Original Ground Round
  • 1 red onion, chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, cubed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 1 cup spicy thick and chunky salsa
  • 1 can (8 ounces) red kidney beans or black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 bunch fresh cilantro (also known as coriander
  • Grated cheese
Directions
  1. Wrap tortilla in foil; place on center rack in oven. Heat oven to 350°F; heat tortillas 15 minutes. 
  2. While tortillas are warming up, prepare burrito filling. In a large skillet on medium heat, heat olive oil. Add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Cook for 5 minutes. 
  3. Add veggie meat and break it apart with a wooden spoon. Continue to cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Stir in salsa, cumin and beans into veggie meat mixture; reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for about 5 minutes, siring once. 
  5. While filling is simmering, chop about 1/4 cup of cilantro. Stir into filling.
  6. Spoon filling onto the warm tortilla and top with cheese.
  7. Roll up and serve immediately.
