Let’s say you had someone coming over for dinner.

This is a person you like, a person that happened to be vegan. But for you, that’s not a big deal. You’ve got this. Except you don’t. Because salad is boring, and pasta is predictable. You don’t want anything complicated, you want the "this old thing?" version of a meal.

But then you freeze up. It’s a simple dinner, a "I hardly have more than 20 minutes to throw this together" meal, but it still has to be great. So you go back to your childhood comfort foods. And although what your mom made was less "enchiladas" and more of a "burrito casserole," it was still one of your favorites.

Tortillas are vegan. So is corn and beans and avocados. Beer is vegan, for the most part. And even though you still put cotija cheese on half of it, it’s still a damn good meal, vegan or not. Because produce is amazing and celebrating it in a big 'ol pan of spicy sauce will a malty stout should be something that everyone does more often.

Because plants are awesome.

This is how I make corn tortillas, once you start, you’ll never go back to store bought.

Even though I eat meat and dairy, I love plants. I was veg for 3 years and still eat veg/vegan most often when I’m at home.

My local brewery has a Jalapeno Smoked Porter right now that would probably be delicious in this recipe. Can’t wait to try it!

These look great! I actually just moved to Oregon, and am having a hard time finding a lot of stouts I really like. Any recommendations?

Oakshire Espresso Stout is really great. I also like a few HUB stouts, and I think Breakside is one of my favorite Oregon breweries, they make a great stout too. I’ve been trying to find Darkside Stout from Silver Moon, but I haven’t been able to find it in a while.
