    Ingredients










    Directions

    Rinse and cook your rice according to package instructions.* (Or prepare this in advance.)

    Meanwhile, press excess moisture from tofu (either with a tofu press or between paper towels). Then crumble tofu in a medium bowl. Add taco seasoning and lime juice. Stir well to combine.

    In a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, add tofu mixture. Sauté 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tofu is lightly browned. Then add black beans (rinsed and drained). Stir and heat for 1-2 minutes.

    Meanwhile, slice avocado and prepare desired toppings.

    Assemble burritos: Spoon cooked rice, tofu/black bean mixture, salsa, avocado, and any other toppings of choice down the center of a tortilla. (I warm my tortillas in the microwave for 10-15 seconds before filling for better pliability.) Tuck ends in, and tightly roll up.

    Crispy burrito option: Place finished burritos on a skillet or grill pan over medium heat. Let heat for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned and crispy.

    Ingredients

    Tortillas


    Beans




    Toppings





    Directions

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a tray with parchment paper.

    Place 2 tortillas on a flat surface and lightly brush both sides of the tortilla with avocado oil. Prick the tortillas with a fork – this prevents them from puffing.

    Once preheated, put the tray in the oven. Bake for 10 minutes total, 5 minutes on each side so flip halfway. You can add multiple tortillas at a time.

    In the meantime, make the beans. Empty the contents of the refried beans into a pot and cook on medium heat.

    Add ¼ – ½ cup of water and taco seasoning. Do not add salt since the taco seasoning has enough salt.

    In the meantime, chop an onion. Add the onion to the beans. Once heated through, turn off the stove.

    Chop the tomatoes, scallions, and jalapeno. Set cheese aside.

    Assemble Pizzas

    Spread a couple of dollops of beans over the tortilla.

    Top off with a little salsa and spread. Use your favorite salsa, or even Taco Bell sauce will work.

    Place the second piece of tortilla on top and top with salsa again. Spread.

    Top with scallions, tomatoes, jalapeños and cheese.

    Place the tortilla pizza in air fryer and fry until crispy or desired texture. Serve hot.

    Ingredients









    Directions

    Cut tortilla from centre point down to bottom edge so it appears to be cut half way.

    Imagining the tortilla is split into four equal quadrants, add ingredients to each quadrant of the tortilla. Add chocolate hazelnut spread to bottom right quadrant.

    Above the chocolate hazelnut spread, add white chocolate to top right quadrant.

    To the left of the white chocolate, add cream cheese to the top left quadrant.

    Add sliced strawberries to the final quadrant.

    Following the tortilla hack; starting with the lower right quadrant, fold each quadrant on top of the other until you have all ingredients folded and stacked together.

    Fry the tortilla in a pan with or without butter. Brown each side until golden.

    Coat with monk fruit sweetener if desired.

    Ingredients

    For the fried ice cream





    For the tortilla bowls




    Topping

    Directions

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop six individual scoops of ice cream and place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Place in freezer and allow to freeze until solid.

    Crush corn flakes in a bowl until finely ground. Add cinnamon and combine well.

    Whisk egg whites together until frothy. Remove ice cream from freezer and working with one ball at a time, dip them in the egg whites. Proceed to roll balls in cornflake crumbs. Repeat by dipping ice cream balls back into egg whites followed by the cornflakes. Using your hands, handle ice cream to further press cornflakes into the ice cream and form a well shaped ball. Repeat for all six ice cream balls.

    Once finished, place all six prepared ice cream balls back into the freezer. Freeze overnight.

    Mix cinnamon and sugar together in a bowl.

    Soften tortillas in microwave for 15 seconds. Brush tortillas with melted butter.

    Brush tortillas with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture. Repeat on both sides of tortilla.

    Mold tortillas to large muffin tin or small oven safe bowl. Bake for roughly 15 minutes or until tortillas are firm and golden brown. Allow bowls to cool completely once finished.

    Once ice cream balls are frozen solid, fill a pot with oil around 4 inches deep. Heat to 350 degrees F.

    Working with one ball from the freezer at a time, immerse ice cream ball in hot oil to cook. Be sure to turn or rotate the ball constantly so it cooks evenly. Cook until coating is crisp, around 15 seconds. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel. Serve in homemade tortilla bowls and top with desired toppings.
