Vegetarian Taco Lunch Wraps

Vegetarian Taco Lunch Wraps by Alison's AllspiceThis months recipe redux theme is Kids that Cook.  The thing I remember cooking most as a child was tortillas.  Mom would make a fresh batch every time we had tacos, and it was my job to flip them in the skillet. These vegetarian taco lunch wraps remind me of those tacos nights as a kid!

I didn’t like to have much in my tacos as a kid.  Plain tacos was always my request.  We always had homemade refried beans to go with our homemade tortillas, and I created this taco lunch wrap based on those 2 ingredients. Continue reading
