Steemit Sandwich Contest Week #22 (Theme: Vegan) - 3rd Entry: Vegan Pinto Bean Empanada Party Snack

Back in the days, I remember hearing people who were vegan would say that they have to bring their own food to a party just to make sure they are covered.

Luckily, time has changed, many hosts nowadays are so well informed and educated about vegan. It is common now to find vegan food at parties so that both vegan or non-vegan could enjoy.

It is for this reason, I am inspired to make a vegan party snack - Vegan Pinto Bean Empanadas - as my 3rd entry of this week SSC.

I had tried many versions of empanadas in my life - from Filipino style to Indonesian style, from Spanish style to Chilean style. Basically, empanada is a stuffed bread or pastry baked or fried. I would like to think that my version is a fusion and quickie version, lol.

Here are the ingredients: Green Pepper, Red Peppers, Pinto Beans, Onion, Vegan Tortillas, Flour, Water, Almond, Basil, Olive Oil

Hare are the steps:

• Cook peppers, onion and pinto beans until they look like mashed and season properly
• Add Basil, Almond and Olive Oil in blender and mix well. Season properly
• Roll up the tortilla to form a cone and seal with flour & water mixture
• Brush with Olive Oil and bake in oven
• Dress it up with wooden stick and brush with basil almond spread

This concludes my week long experiments with Vegan Sandwiches and I have to say that I had a blast! Also, can you believe this is my 70th sandwiches so far?!
