Curry Wraps

My oldest hates everything foreign - usually until he tries it. This was no exception. The flavor was not something he was used to, but it was quite yummy and we all enjoyed it. I should have made mored because they both wanted seconds! :o)

1 1/2 c. cooked barley
1 1/2 c. cooked white beans
Curry Sauce (recipe will follow)
3 burrito-sized wheat tortillas
9 romaine lettuce leaves
Shredded Vegan Cheese (if desired)

Combine barley and white beans in a large bowl or pot. Use a bowl if you are making a cold wrap and use a pot if you are making a warm wrap.

Prepare Curry Sauce:
1 package (12 oz) light firm silken tofu, drained
1 t. yellow curry powder
1 t. Real Salt
1/4 t. granulated garlic
1/4 t. ginger
1/8 c. nutritional yeast
1 T. Bragg's Liquid Aminos
1/4 c. coconut milk

Place all ingredients except coconut milk in a hand blender. Add half of the coconut milk and begin blending, adding more milk as necessary to reach desired consistency. The sauce should be thin but not runny. Taste, and adjust seasonings if necessary.

Add 1/2 of the sauce mixture to beans and barley, stirring to combine. Store remaining sauce in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you want a warm wrap, heat barley mixture over low heat until just heated through. Remove center rib from lettuce leaves, and arrange three of each lettuce leaf on each tortilla. Top with 1/3 of barley mixture. Fold bottom up and then roll both sides over like a burrito. Serve immediately.

If desired, garnish with tomato and/or avocato before rolling.
