haren’s mexican burrito pie

March 17, 2011 by tk

Anything that has the words mexican, burrito and pie in the same sentence can’t be that bad, right?  Well this recipe did not disappoint!  This one is a keeper in our family!   They are  already asking to make it again, so there you go, you may want to give this one a try.   I pulled this recipe from the La Dolce Vegan!

The picture here does not do it justice.  We actually made a larger batch and dug in and destroyed any good picture opportunities, so we took a picture of the backup dish, sorry about that.  But you should give it a try anyway.

stuff you’ll need:
1 large ripe avocado
2 garlic cloves – minced
4 green onions – finely chopped
1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (I used the non fat)
1 tbsp lemon juice
2 15oz can of pinto beans – drained and rinsed
1 15oz can of black beans – drained and rinsed
1 cup salsa (I used a chipotle salsa)
1 jalapeno – minced (I kept seeds in but I like things hot, if you know what I mean)
1 jalapeno – sliced
1 tsp chili powder
½ tsp ground cumin
5 8-inch spelt tortillas (or whole wheat)
1 ½ cups vegan cheese grated (we used regular but I would recommend ½ regular and ½ vegan)

what to do with the stuff:

  • Preheat oven to 350
  • In a small bowl, mash the avocado, garlic, green onion, yogurt and lemon juice until smooth. Set aside
  • In a medium bowl, mash the beans, salsa, jalapenos, chili powder and cumin. Set asside.
  • Lightly oil a 8 inch pie dish and layer:
    • tortilla, then half of the bean mixture
    • tortilla and half of the avocado mixture and ½ cup cheese
    • tortilla and the remaining bean mixture
    • tortilla and the remaining avocado mixture and ½ cheese
    • tortilla
  • cover with foil and bake for 25min
  • remove cover and layer with ½ cup cheese and sliced jalapeno and bake for 5 more min
* Note: this is not a low carb dish, something like this is best eaten within a 1-2 hours of a good solid workout.  So have this after you get back from the gym!
