Serves: 8 burritos
 
Ingredients
  • Cheezy Sauce:
  • ½ cup soaked cashews (soaked overnight for at least 8 hours)
  • 1 medium sweet potato, cooked and skin removed
  • ¼ cup nutritional yeast
  • 1 cup soy milk
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp pepper
  • Burrito:
  • 8 whole wheat tortillas
  • 1 small/medium white onion, coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup fresh spinach
  • 1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), with juice from can
  • ¼ tsp prepared mustard (powder)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ⅛ tsp cumin
  • ¼ tsp chili powder
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced.
Instructions
  1. Combine all ingredients for Cheeze sauce in a high powered blender like Vitamix. Set aside.
  2. Add a dash of oil to a large skillet on medium heat. Once hot, add your onions and allow to cook for about 5 minutes, until starting to turn translucent. Add garlic. Let cook for another 2 minutes.
  3. Add garbanzo beans with the juice (aquafaba) into the skillet with the onions.
  4. Add spices and stir.
  5. Cook mixture on medium heat until all the aquafaba is absorbed and the mixture is no longer liquidy. Add spinach and allow to wilt, stir into mixture.
  6. Warm tortillas. You can do this in the microwave or in a slightly warm oven, your choice. It makes them more pliable when they are warm.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  8. Time to assemble burritos: Add about ¼ cup of chickpea mixture (maybe less depending on your rolling skills) onto the bottom half of your tortilla. Spoon 1-2 tbs cheeze sauce on top of the mixture. Now roll up your burrito.
  9. I recommend folding the left and right edges of the tortilla. Then starting from the bottom of the tortilla, where the mixture is, rolling it upwards. Since you folded the sides in none of your mixture can escape.
  10. Place rolled burritos on a cookie sheet and cook in oven for 10-15 minutes, or until burritos just start to turn golden brown. If you plan on freezing burritos skip this step until you are ready to actually eat them.
