Are you the one that sometimes hesitates at continuing to have more raw recipes because they are time consuming? Check this one out. A delicious recipe that takes about 10-15 minutes. It looks great and tastes great! Enjoy this savory and satisfying recipe!
There are 3 parts to this recipe:
* The filling, which is a spicy pate.
* The salsa, which goes over the filling
* The burrito itself, which is made from collard greens (surprisingly, they are beyond tasty in this recipe!)
Filling:
2 cups sunflower seeds. (Soak overnight, discard water, rinse.)
1/4 cup pumpkin seeds. (Follow same directions as for sunflower seeds).
2 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. himalayan sea salt
2 Tbsp red onion, chopped (leave out, if you don’t like onion)
1/2 tsp cayenne
Place in food processor. You probably need to process for 30-60 seconds. Basically, you want the filling to be a nice smooth pate consistency. Feel free to add a mexican spice blend or any other spice that might make this whole filling pop! Let me know your suggestions down in the COMMENTS section! Thanks!
Salsa
3 cups fresh tomatoes, use of heirlooms is a bonus!
1 red onion, chopped
1-2 jalopeno peppers, chopped
1/2 cup cilantro, chopped
Place in food processor until smooth, but keep the chunky consistency. A tip here: You may want to strain this and get some of the water out. It will make a better burrito!
Make your burrito!
Take your collard greens or romaine lettuce leaves and wash and dry each of them. If using collard greens, take off the bottom portion of the stems.
Put about 2 Tbsp of the burrito filling down the center of collard green leaf or romaine lettuce leaf. If you like, put a few avocado slices on top of this. Then your delicious salsa goes on top of that! Roll the collard greens or lettuce. A trick here is to put large toothpicks through the middle to keep your burrito “together”, especially for presentation. You will want to dig in right away. They taste SO good and are very satisfying. If you bring these to your favorite raw pot luck or not-raw get-together, bring ALOT of these. They always go so fast!
