My husband recently discovered Amy's Kitchen burritos and wraps in the grocery store frozen foods section.  His favorite so far is the Indian Samosa Wrap, which I agree is pretty darn tasty.    But since I am not too crazy about their price tag (or the fact that even though they are organic, they are still processed), I decided that I could mimic them.  I used cauliflower instead of tofu to up the nutritional value, and then added beans for more protein, but overall the taste is rather similar.

Why It's So Awesome (aka, the nutritional stuff):

• Cauliflower:  A great source of vitamin C.  Also contains potassium, fiber, folic acid and isothiocyanate, which helps to prevent disease.
• Peas and Beans:  Good sources of fiber and plant-based protein 
• Potatos:  Provide a source of  potasium.  

Vegan Indian Wraps

6 Servings 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cups fresh or frozen cauliflower florets
• 2 large red potatoes cut into 1/2-inch pieces (skins on or off, it's up to you)
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 2 cups water
• 1 cup peas, fresh or frozen
• 1 15 oz can red beans, rinsed
• 6 flour burrito tortillas 

Preparation:

1. Heat oil in a large skillet over med-high heat. Add potatoes, cauliflower and ginger.  Sauté about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add water and spices, cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Cook until mixture is mostly a paste, with some larger pieces of cauliflower and potato still visible.  Add peas and beans and simmer 2 minutes.  
2. Lay burritos flat and divide ingredients into even piles, placed at the center of each burrito shell.  Fold over sides of each burrito, then top and bottom.  Flip each burrito over and place (open side down) unto a large cookie sheet.  Bake for 5 minutes.
