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 can of refried beans
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 box or package of Spanish flavored rice
- salsa
- guacamole
- vegan soy cheese
- tortilla chips
- vegan “sour cream”
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375F. Cook Spanish
rice following directions on package.
Drain black beans. Make guacamole (or
buy a vegan brand of guacamole.)
Shred up vegan cheese. In a medium
sized baking dish spread out the full
can of refried beans. Layer cooked
rice on top. (I usually don”t fully
cook the rice since you are going to be
baking it and don”t want it to dry
out.) Layer black beans on top of
rice. Now spread a generous layer of
guac and salsa. Sprinkle cheese (I
usually put the cheese in this layer so
it melts nicely.) Now crush up a bunch
of tortilla chips and sprinkle over the
top of the entire bake. Now you are
ready to bake for aprox. 15 – 20
minutes.
If you can find vegan sour
cream you can add that to the top after
the dish has finished baking. This
feeds two hungry people dinner or
three/four for lunch. It is so easy
and tasty I hope you enjoy it.
