Rents El Famous Burritos

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

1 lb Firm Japanese Style Tofu
3 - 4 Tablespoons of Liquid Smoke
1 Packet of your favorite Taco Seasoning (check the ingredients)
1 - 12 beers (Please support your local microbrewery)
1 Can of your Favorite Vegetarian Refried Beans
1 - 2 Organic Tomatos (Finely Chopped)
1 - 2 White Onions (Finely Chopped)
1/2 Bunch Chopped Cilantro
1/2 Head Lettuce (Chopped)
Spicy peppery-things to taste (jalapenos, etc...it should burn)
vegan cheese substitute (optional)
1 Jar of Your Favorite Salsa (I prefer my own AWARD WINNING* home-made
salsa)
Low-fat Tortillas (Big Burrito Size)

Directions:

1.   Open and enjoy a beer.

2.   Cube the Tofu - 1/4 inch in size. Saute the Tofu, Taco Seasoning, Liquid Smoke, and 3/4 of another beer (not the one you are enjoying) until thick. Keep warm.

3.   Add the remainder of the beer to the Refried Beans as you warm them -   in a seperate sauce pan (of course).

4.   Make sure all the other ingredients are chopped - not the tortillas.

5.   When you are ready to serve, lightly steam the tortillas. This step makes all the difference in the world. I simply put a little water in a pie pan and lay bamboo skewers over the top. Volla...steamed tortillas.

6.   Assemble your Burrito.

Burrito assembly is a highly personal journey that, I believe, one should travel alone. Only then will happiness and self-fulfillment be found in ones own Burrito.

7.   Finish off that 12 pack of beer.

8.   Fall asleep happy and content.

*NOTE: My salsa is not really award winning...but it is perhaps the best salsa I've ever had. 30 Helens may even agree....

Serves: 3-4

Preparation time: 20 min (unless you use all 12 beers)

Nutrition Information: Lets see...you got your tofu group, you got your bean group, you got your beer group, and some veggies. Looks pretty nutritious to me.

What is liquid smoke?

funny recipe. i think the liquid smoke is a hoax. (i.e. dehydrated water)

No, Liquid Smoke really exists. My mom used it all the time I was growing up. Its a super concentrated liquid that gives food a smoky (a.k.a grilled) flavor. Good idea.

This recipe is more fun than one person should be allowed to have. Yes, liquid smoke lives! You can find it in a well stocked supermarket or gourmet food store.

Great recipe....After adding Daves Insanity Sauce, it took about 11 beers to cool the flame. Peace!
