Gluten Free Vegan Living

Mexican dishes, especially Vegan Bean Burritos, are fun dishes to experiment with for making different combinatuion.  I love Mexican food — and it tends to be ‘safe’ and easy to make.  And I love all the varied dishes I can make with some simple ingredients that I normally have on hand.

This Vegan Bean Burritos uses pumpkin as the base for the burrito — yes, I got that right:  Pumpkin!!  I never would have thought of pumpkin in a burrito!!  The rice and bean combination makes this a complete protein.  And I live the nutritional yeast on top — giving it a bit of a ‘cheezy’ tastes!
