Vegeterian Tips: There are many different options at Mexican restaurants, including burritos, tostadas, enchiladas, tacos, nachos, and veggie fajitas. Most food options can be prepared vegetarian by substituting beans for beef without a problem.
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 1 large baker potato
- 1 can vegan fat free refried beans (black or pinto- or you can make your own!)
- salsa
- vegan “bacon” bits
- green onions to taste
- jalapenos to taste
- salt, pepper, olive oil
- dressing: vegan ranch dressing packet and vegan yogurt
Directions:
First bake the potato. Microwave works fine,
it”s easier. Just poke some holes in it and
cook on high until done (usually 10
minutes).
Cut potato in half once baked and
let cool for a few minutes. Once a bit cool,
scoop out the innards, but not all of it, leave
a bit. You can use the insides for mashed
potatoes or some other meal if desired.
Then brush a bit of olive oil on each side of
the potato and cut into strips. Season inside
with s&p. Then put a generous amount of
refried beans (cold or hot) onto each slice,
then some bacon bits and jalapenos. Put on
a baking sheet and bake at 400 for approx
10 minutes until bottoms are crispy. (some
ovens are complicated, so this may very)
Then when it”s cooked up on a plate and top
with salsa and chopped green onions. It”s
great with vegan ranch dressing (just mix
the dry packet with the tofu yogurt and viola!)
