A meatless burrito in an organic sprouted grain tortilla would have been the last thing on my mind when I was stuffing meat and dairy down my throat. Now that I have switched completely to plant-based eating these kinds of meals are what I CRAVE!

Meatless Burrito On An Organic Sprouted Grain Tortilla
1/2 pound kale
4 raw ears of corn
1/2 pound white kidney beans
half an onion diced
4 medium carrots diced
home made salsa
2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic minced
organic sprouted grain tortillas
Pour the olive oil into a heated wok, medium heat. Cut the corn off of the cob and add to oil along with the minced garlic and half of the onion. Save the other part of the onion to top with. While that is heating up and becoming more compact, dice the carrots and set to the side for a cold topping. Once the kale and spinach mixture has cooked to your desired texture removed from heat and lay out your tortillas. The next step is to add everything and chow down!
