Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Veggies (this makes a lot)
  • 1 diced yellow pepper
  • 1 diced red pepper
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, diced
  • 2 peeled broccoli stems, diced (or a head of broccoli, diced)
  • 1 large carrot, diced
  • handful of red cabbage, sliced, optional
Flavorings
  • 1/2 tsp (or a sprinkle) cumin powder
  • 1/2 tsp (or a spinkle) cinnamon powder
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • a handful of cilantro, minced
  • squeeze or two of lime
Grain (optional)
  • 4 oz rice, quinoa, millet, or a combo
Protein
  • 6 oz black beans, seasoned with chili powder and sea salt (or your fave protein)
Fat
  • 2 oz diced or sliced avocado
Enchilada Sauce (optional ~ I usually omit this since the veggies are super flavorful, but try it for fun)
  • 1 Tbsp 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1-3 Tbsp water (to reach desired consistency)
  • 2 pinches each of cumin, cinnamon, chili powder

Method
 

  1. First, heat a cast iron skillet (or a skillet of your choice) with a spray of oil. Add in all the veggies, a splash of water, and cook these down until they are bite-tender (I cook them for about 7-10 minutes).
  2. Add in the flavorings (except cilantro and lime) and taste for seasoning. Set the veggies aside.
  3. Make the enchilada sauce, if using.
  4. In a bowl, combine the grain (if using), beans, your desired amount of veggies, avocado, and cilantro on top. Serve with the enchilada sauce, optional.

Notes

To those measuring, this meal makes: 1 portion of grain, 1 portion of protein, 1 portion of fat, your desired amount of vegetables.
