White Bean and Veggie Burritos

Recently we were talking about cheese and whether or not we miss it - I don't really miss it anymore, but Darlene does occasionally. Vegan cheeses can be hit or miss (and also expensive) but when I was picking up a few groceries today I grabbed a package of Follow Your Heart vegan cheddar and we decided to have it on burritos. It didn't have a very good texture, but the taste wasn't bad - especially when shredded on these burritos. We didn't have any canned black beans on hand and I didn't want to take the time to cook dried beans so the burritos consisted of white beans with broccoli and other veggies, namely yellow squash, zucchini, carrots, red onion and garlic. I threw some brown rice into the burrito too since the tortillas definitely weren't whole grain.

This combination is not without precedent because many years ago I remember having a white bean and broccoli burrito at a little burrito joint in New York City. I still remember this because it ranks right up there with the hottest things I've ever eaten. When I ordered the burrito they asked, "What kind of sauce do you want? The green sauce is hot and the red sauce is mild." So naturally I picked the green sauce. I suspected I was in trouble because they had their sauces out on a table with chips and you could help yourself while waiting for your burrito. I had some of the green sauce with chips and it completely lit me on fire. Then I got my burrito and it was smothered with this same sauce. I got through about 3/4 of the burrito but that was all I could do; it was one of the few times I've had to stop eating something because of the heat level. Then right after eating we had to head to the airport and get on a plane to fly home. Let's just say that wasn't such a comfortable flight.
