At a Glance

• Feeds 4 hungry people
• Difficulty: Medium
• Time: 20-25 minutes
  

Salad Ingredients

• 1 head shredded iceberg lettuce
  
• 2 stalks of chopped green onions
  
• 4 faux chicken patties
  
• ½ pkg. of wontons (just pick-up a bag of already cooked wontons from a Chinese Restaurant)
• ¼ cup toasted slivered almonds

Dressing Ingredients

• ¼ cup vegetable oil or olive oil
• ¼ cup sugar
• ¼ cup white vinegar
• 2 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. pepper
• 1 tsp. Accent seasoning
  

Method

• In frying pan, add all dressing ingredients.
• Heat on low-medium until all sugar is melted. When dressing is proper consistency, remove from heat. It should be room temperature when you add it to the top of the salad. Put in fridge to speed up process if you want. While it is cooling, you can do the rest of the recipe, which should time it just about right.
  
• Put chicken patties in oven (preferred) or microwave to cook according to directions on package. It's best for these to be crispy for this salad, which is why the oven method is preferred.
• In big mixing bowl, add lettuce, onion and almonds. Mix well.
• Break up the wontons into manageable, bite size pieces, then add wontons to mixing bowl too. Mix well again.
• When chicken patties are cooked, cut them into long strips.
  
• If you're serving the whole recipe, add the dressing to the mixing bowl, and mix well. If just making a small batch now, add salad to plate, drizzle dressing on top.
• Add chicken strips to top of salad.
• Eat!
  

Faux Cheeseburger Quesadilla

At a Glance

• Feeds: 2 people
• Difficulty: Easy
• Time: 15 minutes
  

Ingredients

• Veggie Crumble
• Shredded Monterrey Jack and Cheddar Cheese
• 2-4 tbsp BBQ sauce
• McCormick's Hamburger Seasoning
• Medium Flour Tortillas
• OPTIONAL: Finely chopped white onion
  
• OPTIONAL: Substitute the kind of cheese that comes pre-made with taco seasoning on it...it really kicks things up a notch!
  

Method

• In small frying pan, add chopped onions with a little non-stick spray on medium heat. You want to cook the onions a little, but not too much. If you like your onions crispy, just put them on low heat until you're ready to assemble your quesadilla.
  
• Heat veggie crumble in microwave until defrosted, according to directions on package
• Add BBQ sauce (as much as you like), and hamburger seasoning, then mix well
  
• Turn large frying pan on to medium/low heat, add a little non-stick spray
  
• Return to heat in Microwave until fully cooked (should only take a couple of extra minutes)
  
• Put flour tortilla in pan, pushing it around to coat in a little oil
• To one side of the tortilla, add cheese, then burger crumble, then onions, then a little more cheese on top
  
• Let it cook until the cheese barely begins to melt, then fold the tortilla over on itself, closing it up.
• Let it cook a little longer, then flip over, being careful not to overcook one side. You want the outside of the tortilla to be crispy, but not burned.
• Repeat process for as many quesadillas as you want to cook.

Serve with more BBQ sauce, or some sour cream/guacamole usually tastes good too.
