Chile Rellenos Burritos
Chile Rellenos Burritos are a delicious mix of the classic Chile Relleno and the convenience of a burrito, made entirely from 100% plant-based ingredients! Tender roasted peppers combine with a savory filling of beans and vegetables, neatly wrapped in a tortilla shell, then drizzled with a creamy, spicy, and vegetable-based tomato sauce. This dish is very special because it combines the distinctive taste of fragrant roasted peppers, the rich texture of the filling, and the ease of serving without using cheese, meat and eggs at all. It's satisfying, hearty, and perfect for a filling lunch or dinner.
