Bandito Burrito

Remember that song "Banditos" by the Refreshments from like 1990-something? It was all: "So just how far down do you wanna go/We could talk it out over a cup of joe/And you could look deep into my eyes/Like I was a supermodel/Uh-huh."

Anyway, this meal — the Bandito Burrito from Vegan Bites — got that song stuck in my head for days:

I don't usually follow recipes for burritos. I just shove some seasoned beans and rice and veggies in a tortilla and stuff it in my face. But I've been wanting to make more recipes from Vegan Bites, a book designed for vegan singles. All the recipes only make a couple servings. This one made for two burritos, filled with pintos, red bell pepper, corn, jalepeno, and onion. I topped my filling with melted Nacho Teese. Yum!

Check out that sexy kale on the side:

I picked up a huge batch from one of my favorite farming couples — Keith and Jill Forrester of Whitton Flowers & Produce — at the Memphis Farmers Market. I sauteed it with a little oil, garlic, and plenty of sriracha. Nothing beats fresh greens from the farmer's market.

Mmmmm. Sometimes I like using recipes for seemingly simple dishes because they introduce me to little subtleties or new flavor combos that I may not have discovered had I just thrown the intuitive ingredients in. Like, the best mexican dish I've maybe EVER had, is the Avocado & Pinto Bean Enchiladas from ED&BV, which includes cashews and mushrooms! Who woulda thought?!

Also, that song is super annoying...My sister likes it. I'm sorry. :)

Oh thanks - now I've got that song in my head! :) Better make some burritos to get rid of it. I love burritos...

The Voracious Vegan said...

Bandito Burrito, I love it! Such a tasty looking meal. Especially that kale on the side. I've said it before and I've said it again: I WISH THEY HAD KALE IN THIS DAMN COUNTRY!

LizNoVeggieGirl said...

Love that song and the burrito!! :-)

miss v said...

that song always drove me nuts - especially when they rhymed jean-luc picard (i can't remember with what). :)

i love ad-hoc burritos. and i think i'm going to get a copy of that cookbook since the husband and i rarely eat together anyway. what's the anticipated date for your book?

Gena said...

Hahaha. B, I love that you call kale sexy. Word.

Macie said...

Mmm! I'm a huge "throw it in a tortilla" person, so it'd be a feat for me to follow a burrito recipe. Looks like it paid off for you, though :D

Oh my god, that looks amazing! I love the beans peeking out of your burrito. And the kale - wowza! So delish.

I'm so jealous of your kale! I can't go to the farmers market tomorrow :( BUT! the workday ones are opening up soon!

I'll have to check out vegan bites... and I just made my farmer's market Collard Greens Brazilian style (from a simple recipe on recipezaar)

Mike K said...

I haven't heard that song in ages, though have great memories of the summer when it was a big deal - awesome burrito, by the way! Sounds like another cookbook I should track down. Thanks!

MeloMeals said...

Yum! Beans and Greens.. my two favorite things..

Meghan (Making Love In The Kitchen) said...

This looks great! I never use these beans- always great to get inspired to add a new on into the diet

Katy said...

Mmmm, that burrito looks super good! I don't think I've ever even made burritos, so I should definitely remedy that!

Gina said...

Haha, oh wow, I haven't thought of that song in ages.

I almost never make burritos, I'm not sure why..

aTxVegn said...

I'm so glad it's greens season - your kale looks so good. And the burrito filling sounds really nice and colorful.

I don't remember that song, but I remember the Frito Bandito. That was probably way before your time!

Erin said...

Haha yeah, a recipe for a burrito is kind of a funny concept, but we all need a little help sometimes. I think back to when I first started cooking and am embarrassed by needing recipes for the simplest of things!

All that kale, yum. Greens are the best.

So I did it -- bought myself a [url=http://www.ordio.com.au/products/Fatman-iTube-ValveDock-Carbon-Edition-2.html]Fatman iTube Carbon[/url] and I've got to say I am an extremely happy customer. I actually listened to one at a friend's house a few months back and just couldn't get that quality out of my head because it impressed the heck out of me. I searched online everywhere I could think of for a great deal and finally found it at [url=http://www.ordio.com.au]Ordio[/url] in Westfield Bondi Junction. I rang them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and made the purchase. Dispatch was fast. Everything was as it should be. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Oz but you won't be sorry if they do.

Really happy...
