Quick -n- Easy Hot Chick-none Maple Mustard Sandwich Idea

"Anticipate the difficult by managing the easy." -Lao Tzu



Things you will need:

Sandwich:

2 slices of bread
4 Gardein Seven Grain Crispy tenders
Generous sprinkle of Daiya (or other vegan) Mozzarella cheese

Sauce:

1/2 tbsp Dijon or spicy mustard
1/2 tbsp maple syrup

What to do:

Mix mustard and maple syrup together, set aside. Toast the bread slices if you want. Microwave the frozen tenders for 1 minute. Then turn over, sprinkle vegan cheese, microwave for another 1 minute. With a spatula, place tenders on one of the bread slices. Spread the maple mustard mixture all over melted cheese on tenders and on bread. Top with the other slice of bread. Enjoy!

This is a super quick and easy dinner, lunch, or snack idea. Let's face it, sometimes you don't feel like cooking a big elaborate meal or snack. Being vegan does not have to be difficult. You can still make convenient meals with food you have on hand. These convenient foods are better for you than non-vegan processed ones, because they contain real ingredients and little to no unnatural ingredients or preservatives. This sandwich packs a decent protein punch also. The Daiya cheese contains no soy and the tenders are mainly made from quinoa and grains, with very little soy, in case any of you are soy sensitive. And of coarse you can use any bread you like. I got the Gardein tenders at BJ's Wholesale Club, but if you have trouble finding this brand (it is so worth it, their tenders and other products are one of the best "chicken" substitutes out there, in my opinion) you can use a Boca patty or any vegan substitute you can find. This is merely a quick sandwich idea that tastes more than just quick, it is really hearty and the sauce is so tasty with the tenders and Daiya; what a great flavor! You must try this, all you Naughty People out there! For now, the Dirty Vegan is signing off.
