Fusion food day is here! Last year, I made some risotto with a Mexican twist. It was quite magical. For some reason, I can't stay away from that theme so here I am again. I'm fusing the burrito and spicy chipotle flavor with the Philly staple: the cheesesteak. Cheesesteak was always something I disliked, even when I ate meat. The ones they served in elementary school for lunch always put me off...something about the gross fake cheese. 😖 Now, I figured I should give cheesesteak another go, but with some conditions: no cheese, no steak. Sounds great! 👍 I replaced the steak with nutritious portabella mushrooms. You can also use a vegan meat substitute if you like. I tried to keep this recipe as clean and healthy as possible. I also love the meaty and earthy taste of mushrooms. I can't get enough of them. The cheese sauce is made with sweet potato for extra flavor and nutrition. I think it makes a wonderful counterpart to the spices in the mushrooms. I wrapped the whole mess up in a gluten free tortilla. This would also be wonderful on bread...or on rice...or any old way, really. Dig in and try to forget about the election. I know I haven't, but this food might help me get there a little. 😜🌶🌯🍄 Chipotle Portabella Cheesesteak BurritosIngredients Free from: gluten*, refined sugar Yield: About 3-4 servings

Sweet Potato Cheese Sauce Ingredients
I've never had cheesesteak (meaty or otherwise), so I'm very intrigued by this. I'm quite tempted to make it, with some seitan strips to accompany the mushrooms maybe. The flavours sound good, and I like the idea of the sweet potato cheese sauce with the earthy mushrooms.

I think that sounds great! Yes the cheese sauce is surprisingly complex because of the sweet potato. I loved it!

It's true...cheesesteak doesn't taste like real food anyway so it's easy to make a vegan version ? Comments are closed.
