INGREDIENTS
8 large flour tortillas, 10
2 cup black or pinto beans
1 cup vegetarian chili mix (tvp)
7/8 cup water, or white grape juice
1 medium onion, diced
1 garnish:
1 diced tomatoes, black olives
1 guacamole, diced onions,
1 picante sauce
Directions
Method: Heat water or juice to boiling and pour over TVP in a
heatproof bowl. Allow to sit for 10 minutes until water is absorbed.
Add beans with juice to TVP. Saute onions in a little water or juice
until soft. Lay out your tortillas flat, and divide bean-TVP mixture
evenly among the 8 tortillas. Then fold the tortilla up from the
bottom, down from the top, and then fold the two ends to the middle.
"Pin" them with a toothpick. Spray a cookie sheet with cooking spray,
place the "envelopes" on the cookie sheet, and spray them with the
cooking spray. Place in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until
crisp and slightly browned. Take the toothpicks out when baked - they
will stay in shape. Use what you need, and freeze the rest in plastic
freezer bags. When ready to serve, heat in oven or microwave and top
with tomatoes and onions - guacamole and black olives, picante sauce
as desired.

The History of Recipes
We are able to read the history of written recipes far back into ancient history, at least as far as the ancient Egyptians, and potentially, even further back. In practice though, in the main part, these old cook books were just simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for preparing meals.
The truth of the matter is, the oldest recipe discovered so far, according to historians is a collection of ancient tablets in ancient Sumerian which recount the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as making anyone who drank it feel `wonderful`. As we move on, there were two interesting books which date from the fourteenth century : one book entitled `Forme of Cury`, and another, similary entitled `Curye on Inglish`. The titles are a little misleading though, these books are not about the curry that is served today, but rather accounts of the types of meals prepared by the chefs of the rich and wealthy people of that period. During the next few centuries, the rich and powerful families of the West competed with each other to serve up the most exotic banquets, and because of this the best chefs and their collection of recipes were much in demand. Notwithstanding that, it wasn`t until the nineteenth century that cooking and cookery books really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally well-known Fannie Farmer in the US, dedicated years of their lives to collating, verifying, and recording recipes to allow everyone to enjoy them. The revolution that is television gave us cooking programs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of the internet, permitting everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on the site you are now reading. |
