When the days get busy (which seems to be always!), I love meals that an be prepped ahead and heated up when ready to eat.
A big pot of Mexican Rice and a make-your-own-burrito-bar is just that kind a weekday win! It’s a make-ahead meal that’s adaptable to tastes and it’s always a hit. My husband and oldest son usually opts for a real burrito with beans and chicken in a wrap, my other son loves the same mix in a bowl and this was my plate.
Mexican Rice (recipe adapted from Test Kitchen ),Quick Simmered Black Beans (recipe from @minimalistbaker), Guacamole, Roasted Zucchini & Squash, chopped Green Leaf Lettuce, Corn and Cherry Tomatoes.
Super easy, nourishing and satisfying!
A simple hearty bowl for that's always a crowd pleaser. Two of our favorites, Mexican Rice adapted from Test Kitchen. Quick Simmered Black Beans from Minimalist Baker + all the fixings: Guacamole, Cherry Tomatoes, Corn, Chopped Green Lettuce, and Roasted Zucchini. You could add or substitute grilled or sautéed chicken for the roasted veggies.
