Ingredients
1 onion, diced16 ounces frozen vegetarian meat crumbles¼ cup water1 teaspoon Bragg Liquid Aminos2 tablespoons chili powder1 tablespoon cumin4 whole grain wraps or 8 corn tortillas1 can corn, rinsed and drained2 tomatoes, diced3 cups shredded romaine lettuce2 cups salsa
Directions
In a nonstick skillet on high heat, sauté the onion for 3 minutes or until translucent. Add the crumbles, water, Bragg’s, and spices. Cook on medium to high heat for 10 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the mixture is browning. Warm the wraps or tortillas. Fill the wraps with the crumble mixture, corn, tomatoes, a generous handful of lettuce, and salsa, and roll into a burrito.
Variations:
Leftover potatoes can be quickly sautéed in a skillet with green onions or bell peppers, and the mixture added to a burrito. Serve with Guacamole, minced jalapeño, chopped raw onion or tomatoes, salsa, rice, or beans.
To make “fried” taco shells, hang corn tortillas over one or two of the metal bars in your oven and bake at 350º for 4 minutes or until crispy. Check frequently.

    This is a great meal - very satisfying. Using Braggs and home made salsa keeps the sodium very low... - 3/15/09

    I don't use braggs and buy salsa with low salt. Also use less in a taco and more lettuce and tomato. Suits my taste. - 4/20/09

    According to the website:
    If there is no salt in the Liquid Aminos, where does the salty taste come from?
    The salty taste comes from the soybeans that are used to make Bragg Liquid Aminos. There is no salt added of any kind (land or sea). The naturally occurring sodium from the soybeans.

    I checked the ingredients in the calculator. It is the 2 cups of Salsa that makes the sodium content so high. - 3/29/09

    You can get Bragg in any health food store. The veggie crumbles can be found in the frozen foods (morning star farms makes a good one) - 3/20/09

    Too bad I don't know what bragg is and the vegetable crumbles where do I find that. Maybe I will look around in health food stores. - 2/28/09

    the nutrition info is based on soy sauce instead of the Braggs amino which I imagine isn't as high in sodium. - 2/27/09
