Vegan Mixiotes

Gabriela Morales
Mixiotes are a Mexican culinary delight prepared by wrapping meat in mixiote leaves, banana leaves, or parchment paper, and steaming or pit roasting them. Featuring a healthy twist on this classic and made with tasty carrots, ears corn, oyster mushroom, and button mushrooms marinated in a guajillo chile-based sauce, vegan mixiotes are a perfect meatless and quickie dish! Transforming the classic mixiote into a vegan or vegetarian meal is easier than ABC!
