Roasted Vegetable Fajitas
These Roasted Vegetable Fajitas are delicious, low in fat and so good for you! I serve these on warm flour tortillas with salsa and homemade almond milk pepper jack cheeze. This recipe supposedly serves four, but two hungry, fajita-loving vegans could probably finish it off in one go.

Vegan Picadillo is a delicious Cuban-style dish that reminds me a little bit of sloppy joes. It’s quite tasty on toasted hamburger buns or with rice or macaroni.

I hope you enjoy it too.
This pizza would be good served with a green salad and an ice cold Mexican beer.

Black Bean Calzones
These calzones are hearty and satisfying. Even non-vegans will ask for seconds, so you may want to double the recipe! You can add any vegetables that you like. I’ve also made these with black olives and jalapenos and taco seasoning instead of Italian seasoning. As with any dish, you can make it yours with a little experimentation. Use your imagination!
