I finally did it! Finally got to try these:
Coconut Kale Enchiladas from Bliss Raw Cafe.
Menu description:
Marinated kale with nacho cheeze, pico de gallo, salsa verde,
and cashew sour creme wrapped in coconut tortillas
It’s the coconut tortillas that really got me. Somehow, they were soft and crispy at the same time. And their sweetness made a perfect foil for the acerbic kale.
This was actually my first time ever trying enchiladas– raw or cooked, vegan or non. Somehow, even though I’ve lived in Texas for years, I’d never had them before. If other enchiladas are as good as these, I’ve been missing out! But then again, other enchiladas don’t have coconut and kale… so they couldn’t possibly be as good as these!
Other things I’ve ordered at Bliss:
Loved loved loved this! The basil pesto was especially yumlicious.
Not so big on this one. But really, you can’t expect to love every item on a restaurant’s menu.
On this trip, I brought along the Bamboo Utensil Set I received as a Christmas present. My friend asked, “Aren’t you ever worried people will think you’re weird for bringing your own utensils to a restaurant?”
Well, first of all: No, I don’t care. If people want to think I’m weird, that’s their loss. My grandma always said, “If they’re laughing at me, at least they’re laughing!”
Second of all: It was a raw restaurant, for goodness sake! The guy serving us had about ten tattoos on his arms, and a lady across from me had hot-pink hair. Not exactly the kinds of people who judge you for going against mainstream society.
OH MY GOD! Those enchilladas look so good! amazing 🙂
good for you that you don’t care, and your grandma was a wise lady ;). might I ask why you brought them? or no special reason?
I love tattoos, and I love looking at people covered in tattoos. it’s like reading a book (or looking at some form of art, if you’re into art).
I almost always eat with chopsticks. I learned to use them before learning to use a fork, so it feels more natural to me. I bring chopsticks everywhere! 🙂
As for tattoos… lol I would never get one because I am such a baby when it comes to needles! I cried for an hour after getting my ears pierced. (Granted, I was only 5!)
oops pressed enter too fast 😉
I’m looking at getting my third tattoo this year, so excited!
what do you think of tattoos?
x sabine
ooh, do you know what your third tattoo will be? i’ve kinda wanted one for a little while now, but i don’t know what it would be of. also, i might be too scared, haha.
i think tattoos can be really cool though!
I would loooveee a nut butter recipe!! Mainly because nut butters are my love.
Oh wow, do you mind having just one more table guest the next time you go? She goes by the name “Meg” and would love to try those enchiladas as well 😉
Oh don’t tease about such things unless you’re prepared to make them a reality! If you ever get your butt down here, I will buy you lunch. Promise :).
On the topic of self utensil supplying, I sincerely hope you have see “As Good As It Gets” with Jack Nicholson. If he can pull it off being an OCD Meany, you can defiantly do it without question.
I haven’t seen it! *Hides in shame* I need to remedy this!
those.look. AMAZING!
Oh my gosh, that looks incredible! I want to find a way to duplicate that at home!
If you do, you’d better share!! 😉
Nut butter recipe!!!!!!! I’ve a bit to use up! 😉 x
I vote for the nut butter recipe. I am glad you got your enchilades and they were great. They look and sound yummy.
Oh my gosh! You tried them! SO JEALOUS! 😀 They look every bit as amazing as I’ve heard they are! Ok, if there was ANY doubt in my mind that I’m eating these next time I come to Dallas (end of February!), it’s gone now. These.will.be.MINE!
We should go together… and get two orders. Although I still think the lasagna is my favorite :).
Those enchiladas look great! I vote for the nut butter recipe for tomorrow’s post. 🙂
Those look awesome! I’m always too scared/lazy to recreate raw vegan food as complicated as this, at home, but that might just tempt me.
New nut butter recipe!!
was that gluten free? it looks amazing i want a raw cafe near me! 🙁
I just googled it, and it IS!! 🙂
i wannaaaa vegan restaurant. why do i live in a huge city full of meat eaters?
Love that bamboo utensil kit! I’ve got two on order for me and a pal!
Aw, you’re such a sweet friend :).
ohmigosh that looks delicious! I wish I had those pro styling skills! 🙂
