1 head of garlic
2 packages cherry tomatoes
1 bag of whole carrots
1-2 Cans of beans (any type).

salt and pepper
1 package of flour tortillas

2) Wash and peel carrots. Cut them into long thin strips.
3) When finished, put all the carrot sticks in a bowl and season with olive oil, salt and pepper. Bake in oven for 20-25 minutes or until the carrots are soft but not mushy.
4) Satay beans in a pan with salt and pepper until hot.
5) Spread beans on a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes. This is to dry out the beans a bit.
