I like the ingredients of Mexican food, but I don't really like tacos or burritos or enchiladas if I have to make it. If someone is going to make it for me, cool beans. If I have to put it together, it ends up a hot mess and I wind up covered in sour cream with cheese in my hair. Tortillas and I do not get along.
So, take out tortillas! I just make a stir fry using ingredients that would be the tortilla filling, and serve it over cheesy quinoa. It's healthy. It's tasty. It's great for leftovers and it freezes well.
Serves 6-8 (6 because I love to eat!)
Ingredients:
1 onion, diced
6 cloves garlic, minced
1 bag of Quorn crumbles, or another meat substitute. Chorizo-style seitan?
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
2 green peppers, diced
4 carrots, diced
6 roma tomatoes, diced
1 t cumin
1 t cayenne pepper
fresh cilantro, to taste
Salsa, to taste
Sour cream, to taste
In a 12 inch cast iron skillet, saute the onions and garlic over medium heat.
Add in crumbles, beans, carrots and peppers.
Cook about 5 minutes until beans are heated throughout and carrots start to soften.
Add tomatoes and spices.
Once everything is hot enough to eat, enjoy with your choice of toppings.
Serve over cheesy quinoa.
Cheesy Quinoa
1) Cook 1 cup dry quinoa according to package (it's cooks like brown rice)
2) Mix in 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Easy.
