Although an exotic international vacation may not be in your family’s plans, you don’t need a passport to experience some of the best flavors from around the world! A few key ingredients and a bit of experimen­tation in the kitchen can add intercontinental flair to your next meal.

Here are some suggestions for taking your taste buds on a tour of the world in three easy meals. The secret ingredient in all three recipes? Veggie burgers — an under-utilized yet better-for-you alternative to meat.

*    Bring some south-of-the-border flavor to your table with this chile relleño recipe. Made with black bean chipotle veggie burgers, poblano chile peppers, black beans and queso fresco — a staple in many Mexican dishes — the chile relleños are sure to have your family saying, “Olé.”

*    The Veggie Wontons will allow you and your family to experience the Orient with­out leaving the house! They combine veggies such as carrots and crimini mush­rooms with authentic Asian ingredients like ginger root, rice wine vinegar and soy sauce.

*    Although stroganoff is a traditional Russian dish, East meets West on one plate in this Miso Stroganoff recipe. The signature noodles remain, but this dish contains portabella veggie burgers and miso paste for a bit of Asian flair.
