What are some vegetarian meals or dishes you think people should know about?

I’m pretty guilty of using meat as a crutch in most of my cooking. I’d love to hear about some good meals for inspiration. Ideally things that aren’t made to imitate/replace meat but exist well on their own.

    I think, this would technically classify as a burrito, but like a lazy version of it.

    Basically, I get in the shops:

    • Soft corn tortillas
    • Pre-cooked white beans (other pre-cooked beans probably work just as well; I believe black beans are used traditionally)
    • A vegetable spread, e.g. chili or eggplant or the like.
    • A bell pepper.

    Chuck the beans with a bit of salt into the microwave. Cut the bell pepper into squares.
    Put the vegetable spread onto the tortilla. Throw bell pepper and beans on top. Shove into mouth. Done.

    Only difficulty is that the individual ingredients need to be good. There is quite a quality range for tortillas, pre-cooked beans and vegetable spreads…
