Well, its finally June, and that means only one thing for me. SUMMER VACATION! After working all last summer at a large software corporation, I decided to do things just a bit differently this year. On June 14th, I’ll be heading on over to India, where I’ll be starting a 3 month backpacking trap that will end in Hong Kong in September. For about 2 months, I’ll be in Southeast Asia, so I decided to make a Southeast Asian inspired dish. If you love Thai, Malaysian, or Cambodian food, then you’ll love this dish.

Ingredients
Dressing:
1/8 cup Olive Oil
2 tbsp ACV
1 tbsp amino acid
1/4 onion
1 tbsp grated ginger
2 large leaves mint
5 large basil
5 tbsp sesame seeds
1/2 tbsp salt
1 lemon – juiced
1 tbsp agave
chili powder (to taste)
Filling:
2 medium tomatoes – half moon sliced
2 carrots – grated
1/4 cabbage
black pepper
alfalfa sprouts
walnuts
pecans
basil
Wrap:
collard greens
Directions:
Take all the ingredients for the dressing (except 3 tbsp of your sesame seeds), and just toss them into a food processor or spice mill. Add the remaining sesame seeds afterwards. Dressings done!
After you’ve diced your tomatoes and grated your carrots, slice up your cabbage so its real thin. Mix your vegetables together, and then pour in enough of the dressing to coat them. Mix the vegetables and dressing, and keep adding dressing until you feel the flavor is strong enough.
To make the actual burrito, take some of your vegetable mix and place it out on a leaf of collard greens. Next, take some alfalfa sprouts and lay them next to the veggie mix. Top everything with some walnuts, pecans, and a few extra leaves of basil. Wrap everything up, and you’ve got it!
And you thought it would be difficult 
Hope you enjoy it!

Where can I get amino acid? And what’s ACV?

Bragg’s Liquid Amino Acid are available at most health food stores. ACV stands for Apple Cider Vinegar. The best brand to get is again Bragg’s, and its also available at health food stores.

I made this today and it was delicious. The flavor combination of the chili powder and herbs really excited my taste buds as the flavors were like no other recipe I have encountered before. I absolutely loved it.
After making the dish my non-raw fiance commented that it did not look like something that he would eat. But after one bite he ‘ate his words right up’ so to speak.
Have a good time traveling. Hopefully you’ll find inspiration for new exciting recipes to share for your eager awaitin’ raw chefs.

Hmmm, it's been awhile since I made this, but from what I remember, it should make about 6-8 big burritos which could be cut up into 3/4 pieces. That should give you an idea of how many people it'll feed.
