The first meal Brad ever made for me was his very own creation, Veggie Zaps! They were delicious and fulfilled many of my requirements for the perfect meal: 1) easy, 2) potentially but not necessarily sloppy and 3) made by someone else. I was so happy and smitten because the fastest way to my heart is with new shoes, but the second fastest is food
And BONUS, they'll give you guns like this:
OK that's probably not true. But if you make them for your girl, she'll look at you like this:
I hate following recipes, and Veggie Zaps don't really require adherence to one, so just start with the basics and get creative!
-Veggie burgers of choice
-Veggie bacon
-Sauce (BBQ, teriyaki, etc.)
-Cheese or cheesy substance
-Veggies
-Buns or tortillas
Place a good-sized pan on medium heat, add a little oil and throw in your veggie burgers. If you are adding mushrooms or onions, you can add them at the same time. Brown them on each side and then turn the heat down to low.
Now, you can get saucy with your bad self! I usually let Brad handle the saucing (he he) because I still can't get the "don't drown your food" guy out of my head. We usually do a teriyaki/BBQ sauce combo and if you go that route, I suggest throwing some in pineapple slices and you can add a little of the juice as well! Add your veggie bacon and cheese (optional of course) and cover the pan. Let it do its thing and cook slowly for at least 20 minutes.
Assembling the Zap! We prefer whole wheat tortillas...or you can go open-faced if you're limiting carbs. Add some mayo or Veganaise, add the veggie burger (we usually break it into smaller chunks or cut it into strips to accommodate the wrap shape), some cheese, pineapple, veggie bacon and any additional veggies or pickles you want to add.
Wrap that sucker up, shove it in your face and prepare to be adored!!! And try and ignore this guy for at least one saucy meal:
