A Vegan Burrito That Is Full Of Nutrients!

The Perfect Vegan Burrito!

It is vegan burrito time!  Pop in the kitchen with animal activist and ballet choreographer Natasha Middleton, of Pacific Ballet Dance Theatre, creating a spinach burrito in the virtual Ellora Wellness kitchen with host Vanessa Marsot. Dancing through lunch, these two cooked and discussed Natasha’s powerful moving film, “Artists Are Like Animals,” showing the similarity of people feeling caged like animals due to the Coronavirus Pandemic. Here’s the link to her beautifully danced and powerfully made film: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHCOdCeMyxQ

A Tasty Vegan Burrito In Minutes!

Natasha prepares this delicious meal in just minutes, and it can be open face or wrapped because Angelenos love their wraps. This one is loaded with iron and fiber and has a mixture of cooked and raw ingredients, so you get the best of both worlds. Spinach, parsley, and cilantro are starring ingredients, and then a bunch of veggies–be creative and add your own mix–and of course no burrito wrap would be complete without the lime. You can make this oil-free by warming the pan first, or using some of the vegan butter Natasha used.
