Title: Beans and Tvp Burritos
Yield: 10 Servings
Categories: Vegetarian, Tex-mex, Main dish.

Ingredients:

10 lg (10") tortillas or chapatis
1 c Dried pinto beans, soaked
Overnight in 3 cups water
1 Bay leaf
3 Cloves garlic, minced
1/2 c TVP granules or flakes
1/2 c (less 1 T.) hot water
2 ts Chili powder
1 ts Cumin
1 ts Salt
1/2 ts Oregano
1 tb Olive oil
1 c Onion, chopped


Drain, rinse and cook the beans until tender (70-90 minutes) in 3 cups of
water with the bay leaf and garlic.

Drain the beans, but reserve the liquid in case it is needed later to thin
the filling mixture.

Combine the TVP, hot water, hot bean liquid, chili powder, cumin, salt and
oregano.

Saute the onion in the olive oil in a good sized skilled until softened.

Add the seasoned TVP and cook a few minutes more. Stir in the cooked beans,
then transfer mixture to a food processor or blender and mash to a fairly
smooth textured filling, adding a little of the bean liquid if mixture is
too thick. Taste and add a little hot sauce if desired. If done in a
blender, you may need to do it in two batches, then mix the batches
together.

To assemble: heat a griddle or skillet until a few drops of water dance on
the surface. Dry fry each tortilla on both sides until the surface of the
tortilla begins to bubble and brown slightly. Keep them warm in a thick
towel. When all are heated, place about 1/3 cup of filling down one side of
a tortilla and roll up. You may wish to enclose or serve with side dishes
of shredded lettuce, grated soy cheese, salsa sauce or sliced avocados.
Serve immediately.

To reheat: Burritos may be made ahead, kept wrapped, and baked before
serving. Unwrap, place on cookie sheet, bursh tops lightly with oil if
desired and bake at 350 degrees about 20 minutes.
