Vegeterian Tips: Most restaurants nowadays have vegetarian options available right on the menu. If not, ask your server if there is something that can be made for you. If you are at a more upscale restaurant, the chef will most likely be willing to whip up something for you, as it shows their talents and feeds their ego.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 onio
- several cloves of garlic
- 1 16 oz. can crushed tomatoes
- 1 can chilis (I got the smallest can of green ones)
- oregano and bazil to taste
- 2 cups black beans
- 1 cup whole wheat couscous, reconstituted
- 1/2 package White Wave lowfat firm tofu
- crushed corn tortillas
Directions:
Water saute the onion and garlic until brown, deglaze and
continue until they reach the condition you favor. Add tomatoes
and chilis. Add spices and salt and pepper to taste and simmer
while you mess with the rest of the ingredients (Note:
I would have added corn here, had I had it).
Reconstitute couscous with hot water. Stir together couscous, beans
and crushed tofu. Add sauce to create a desirable consistency. (Be
sure to save enough sauce for the casserole).
Squirt a 9×13 pan with cooking spray and then put a bit of sauce i
the bottom and spread it around. Heat a skillet to medium and use it
to soften the corn tortillas (put them on the skillet and flip them
when they get a bit hot; they should wind up soft). Roll about 2 to 3
tablespoons of the filling in each tortilla (while heating the one to
follow) and squeeze them tightly side by side in the pan. Cover the
rolls with remaining sauce when you”re done.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes and then let stand
for ten minutes.
