Curried Broccoli Slaw Burrito

NEW RECIPE w/photo! That's a steamed spelt tortilla on top.



Some of the tastiest dishes result from ruts in the kitchen. I just wanted to mix things up. Here's my latest delectable creation:

What you'll need:
1 bag broccoli slaw (pre-chopped mix of broccoli, cauliflower and red cabbage)
Sprouted spelt tortilla
1 lg onion, chopped
3-5 bulbs garlic (I like a LOT!), chopped
1 tsp. Garam masala (a savory blend of spices from India)
A few shakes of garlic powder (did I mention that I like garlic?)
Other spices: Turmeric, Cilantro, Dill, Sprinkle cumin, Cayenne, Salt (pinch)
Kale (optional, but why wouldn't you?)
Olive oil
Glob sesame tahini (small glob)
Nutritional yeast
1/8 cup veggie or chicken broth (may need less)
Lime

Let's do this:
Heat 1-2 T. olive oil in large pan. Sauté onion in oil for about 2-3 minutes. Add kale, chopped garlic, and spices. Stir to blend well. Add broth as needed so nothing sticks to pan. Add 2-3 large handfuls of broccoli slaw (not whole bag). Mix. 

While all that goodness simmers, steam one spelt tortilla to soften. Once softened, lay it in on a plate, spoon in mixture full, but so you can still fold the tortilla to close. Drizzle on tasty olive oil, a few squeezes of lime juice and a wee pinch of salt. ENJOY ... trust me, you will. Also, if you do cheese, you may sprinkle a touch of mozzarella on the hot tortilla before adding the broccoli slaw mixture, but it's uber tasty either way.
