Quick and Budget Friendly Vegan Meal

Wondering how to have a quick and easy vegan meal when you are out on contract?  Recently, I’ve been doing a lot of regional work and living out of hotels on contracts.  As some of you may know, there’s only so much you can do with a refrigerator and a microwave to create a delicious vegan meal.  I recently completed a contract up at The Fireside Theater doing “The Little Mermaid.”  While I don’t like to eat a large meal before a show, I would usually have a macro bar an hour before our half hour call.  Then, I would have a larger meal after my show.  My go-to/post show meal was always a simple veggie burger taco.

Ingredients: 

1. Gluten-free Tortillas (corn, chickpea, brown rice, etc)
2. Veggie Burger (I love Trader Joe’s Hi-Protein Veggie Burgers or Dr. Pregger’s Veggie Burgers)
3. Hummus (I used Trader Joe’s Mediterranean Hummus)
4. Optional: you can add vegan cheese on top (I love daiya cheese) and extra veggies.

Procedure:

1. Warm tortillas in microwave for 30 seconds.
2. Cook veggie burger in microwave until soft and warm (1-2 minutes)
3. Assemble taco with half a burger in 2 tortillas.  Add hummus
4. Add a side of carrots or any type of veggies.

This is a very simple recipe… but it’s great on a budget and living in a hotel room.  Quick & Easy.
