<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Directions:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Preheat oven to 450.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Mix tomato sauce, water, and spices in a medium bowl, then slowly add the flour until blended. Coat the cauliflower florets with sauce (if it's not quite enough for your amount of cauliflower, add a bit more tomato sauce). Lay them evenly in a lightly greased pan, and bake for 16-20 minutes. Let them cool while you make the avocado sauce.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Who needs sour cream when avocado exists?!

Here, I edit my mom's recipe for Carne Guisada into a rich vegan taco filling. You can make your own, but if a grocery store has a tofu section, they probably (hopefully) have seitan.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8 oz. seitan cubes or strips</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 tbsp. oil of your choice</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 yellow onion, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 cloves garlic, minced</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 c. tomato sauce</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 tbsp. vegan flour</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1/2 c. veggie broth or water</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 tbsp. chili powder</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 tbsp. cumin (we go heavy on the cumino in my family)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">salt and pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">cilantro or green onion for garnish</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>Directions:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Heat oil and add seitan to brown, about 10 minutes on medium heat. Add 3/4 of your onion and sauté 5 minutes (save some for garnish). Add garlic and continue cooking for about 1 more minute. Add flour and tomato sauce. Sauce can be either store bought or you can easily blend a few tomatoes to make 2 cups.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Add broth/water and chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. It will seem very liquidy here, but will soon thicken into a gravy. Bring to a boil, then turn down to simmer, covered, for 1 hour (peak and stir every once in a while to make sure nothing's sticking).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Let it sit uncovered for about 5 minutes to cool down and thicken a bit more. Serve in warm tortillas and top with the extra onion, plus green onion and cilantro if you've got it. Add Cholula if you're feelin' spicy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Taco yield: 7</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Spice-o-Meter: Mild to Medium</span><br />

A simple and filling meal that also provides plenty of flavor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">If you ever go to Guajillo's in San Antonio, TX, get their Calabaza con Mole Verde because it rules. This is my take on their delicious dish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>Ingredients:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 tbsp. olive oil or water</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2 zucchinis</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 c. plain cashews</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 8oz. jar tomatillo salsa</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 jalapeño</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3 garlic cloves</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1.5 c. cilantro, chopped</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1 tsp. cumin</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">salt and pepper to taste</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">corn or flour tortillas</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sriracha (optional)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><u>Directions:</u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Begin by pouring olive oil (or water if you want to be healthier) in a medium saucepan. Put burner on medium, and cut zucchini as you wait for it to heat. I like to cut slices on the diagonal to get longer pieces. When oil/water is hot, place zucchini slices flat in the pan, and layer them if you have to. Let those begin to get soft, and grab a blender or food processor.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Blend up the your favorite tomatillo salsa with cashews, jalapeño, garlic, and 1 cup of cilantro. Here the creaminess or chunkiness depends on your preference. If you don't want to bite on the cashews, blend until smooth. If you'd like some chunks in there, don't blend too much. I personally like it creamier, with juuust a little bit of cashew crunch. Add the cumin along with salt and pepper to taste. Once your mole verde is at your preferred consistency, pour it over the zucchini in the pan, and carefully fold the sauce into the squash.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The thing with zucchini is that there is a fine cooking line between a firm texture to totally translucent and squishy. Allow the sauce to cook with the zucchini until you just start to see a couple pieces becoming translucent. Stir on occasion. While this is finishing up, it's a good time to heat up your tortillas.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Take your calabaza off the heat and finish by sprinkling the remaining cilantro over the dish. Serve in corn or flour tortillas and top with sriracha if you like it extra spicy. Enjoy!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">*Warning - This is a pretty spicy dish! If you can't take the heat, use mild tomatillo salsa and leave out the jalapeño and Sriracha.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Taco yield: 8</span><br />
