2. A rare effort

I made a huge batch of chickwheat (looks and tastes like chicken but made with the protein from wheat) last weekend, and tonight I struggled to figure out something I haven’t had in a while… Then it hit me—quesadilla! WW tortillas with refried beans, spicy chickwheat, tons of pickled jalapeños, and some dairy-free cheddar, toasted on the old comal.

Why haven’t I made these for so long?! So good that I wolfed it down before I could snap a pic.

Tomorrow, the last of the spicy chickwheat is going in a salad with carrots, celery, apple, pecans, and some raspberry-walnut vinaigrette for lunch.
