Okay.. it was a normal day, until I got home after work.
I arrived home to find my husband cooking a vegan dinner (still don't know where he got the recipe). He had gone out and purchased black beans, tomato sauce, salsa verde, and vegan cheese.. in order to make vegan enchiladas (honestly, more like a burrito.. but let's not be picky).
I was instructed to go to the bedroom and relax until it was ready. Hubby had lit some candles around the bathtub, so I could take a relaxing soak. (Yeah, I know.. waste of water. But on the upside, no electricity.)
Anyway, the dish turned out to be super yummy.. but I was NOT a fan of the vegan cheese. It almost had a sour taste, and the aftertaste of a stick of butter. Eh. No thanks. So I told him to keep these on the roster of recipes, but leave out the cheese next time.
For anyone who wants to make it, he took some basic flour tortillas, filled them with beans and cooked brown rice. He also put the cheese inside, but like I said, didn't enjoy that much. Then he topped them with the tomato sauce and some salsa verde/chilis.. and then baked it.
Honestly, I didn't mind the beans, but I think they would've tasted even better with less rice and beans, and more veggies.. like cut up bell peppers, jalepenos, and some onions.
Either way, it's definitely a super easy dish to modify and make it your own. Tasty, and relatively healthy.
But what mattered more to me than the food, was the clear support from my husband.
I was surprised when he agreed to go vegetarian for a month.
I was amazed when he didn't buy milk, trying to dip his toes into vegan waters..
And I am ecstatic that he's willing to go out of his way to find, buy, and make meals that fit this lifestyle. I am one lucky lady.
