Ingredients
-
1 can black beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can pinto beans
1 package ground veggie beef
1 can of mexican style corn
1 bell pepper
1/2 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup onions
3 tomatoes
1 tbsp taco seasoning
1 box instant spanish rice mix
texmex cheese sauce:
1 package lite firm tofu
1 12oz jar of salsa
2tbsp nutritional yeast
1/4 tsp tumeric
1 tbsp cornstarch
1/4 cup water
Directions
This meal is similar to a chili but not in a thick tomato sauce, more of just a mix of texmex stuff....
Steps:
Well, there isn't too much work involved, basically add everything to the pan (except for sauce & rice) and cook for about 10-15 minutes. Just make sure the dice up the veggies and drain the beans before adding to the pan.
Sauce:
blend all ingredients in a blender for a few minutes until smooth (or mostly smooth) Add to a non stick pan (different from the 1 above) cook for five minutes, then wisk until smooth.
Add sauce to the other pan, add the rice and rice mix to the pan with everything else, and stir, bring to a bit of a boil and cover. Once rice seems cooked (5-10 minutes) you can eat!!
Enjoy!
Variations:
-Add some macaroni noodles to make a great tex mex macaroni casserole instead of the rice, though I rarely do because this meal is already higher in carbs. (Though it is also very high in fibre so that makes the net carbs lower!)
-Also you can use canned beans in tomato sauce, and add bbq sauce for a bbq version of this recipe instead of the cheesy sauce
- for lower carb, just omit the spanish rice all together, still great.
This is a great main dish, or it can also be a side. The serving size is based as a main dish portion.
