Quick Recipes 

for a healthy life

Rick and I make home-cooked vegan and vegetarian meals every single day and we want to show you how easy and fun it can be to feel healthier and happier and to create a better life for you and your family, while creating the positive domino effect that then occurs to your community and world.  
 
My most recent lunch meal idea: 
Spicy Tortilla Veggie Wrap
 

Ingredients: 

from our garden: red green chiles

from the farmer's market: tomato, tomatillo, flour tortilla

from Sprouts (health food store): romaine lettuce, avocado

Local Santa Fe Olive Oil Company's olive oil (optional, for re-frying tortilla)

and delicious 25 Star Dark Balsalmic for dressing 

(also can use any favorite oil/vinegar mix, dressing, or hummus)

Directions:

    1. Re-fry tortilla on both sides with a small amount of olive oil on stove top.

    2. Chop romaine lettuce and cut up remaining ingredients to your desired size/texture combo (excluding avocado)

    3. Cut open avocado, use spoon to scoop out at least half, smuch and smear onto one side of the crispy tortilla

     (though I like a whole one - lots vitamins, folate, fiber, and healthy fatty acids)

    4. Mix together chopped ingredients and place on top of tortilla and avocado

    5. Drizzle with balsalmic glaze and mix together if desired 

    (also can use any other dressing/topping to add flavor)

    6. Finally fold up the sides, tucking in all the goodness as best as you can and enjoy!
