Looking to enjoy some delicious food and do your health and the planet a favor? The recipe below is a great vegan choice for doing it all. The folks at VeganAnswers were kind enough to give us permission to reprint this recipe. They urge you to go vegan for the animals, the planet and your health. As their web site points out, “A multitude of studies have proven the health benefits of a vegetarian diet to be remarkable.”

The folks at VeganAnswers are advocates doing valuable work with the Animal Protection & Rescue League to expose the cruelty of factory farming. Since 1992, the Animal Protection & Rescue League has influenced statewide animal protection bills, conducted numerous rescues of abused factory farmed animals, reached thousands of people with innovative outreach campaigns to expose factory farm abuses, influenced policy makers to adopt humane solutions to wildlife management, and the list goes on and on!

Ingredients for 4-8 Servings (Use Vegan Versions)

• 1 Can Crushed Pineapple in Juice
• 1 Red Bell Pepper, Diced
• 1 Green Bell Pepper, Diced
• 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, Diced
• 2 Bunches Green Onions (Some Tops Are OK), Diced

Preparation

1. Start with pineapple in a large mixing bowl.
2. Add bell peppers, onion, and cilantro.
3. Add ground red pepper until it is spicy enough for you (should be a nice combination of sweet and spicy).
4. Chill the mix while you make Spanish rice. You can use either the packaged kind (check ingredients) or your favorite recipe.
5. When this is done, heat the tortillas in the microwave or on the burner.
6. Fill with a mixture of pineapple stuff and Spanish rice; more pineapple stuff than rice.
7. Throw spinach leaves in there.
8. Roll up and eat.
9. It's pretty juicy, so use a fork or keep a paper towel handy.
10. You can also put it in vegan pita bread.
