I know we are all about to rip out hair searching for dinner ideas. But you are in luck!
I have three recipes for you that require less than ten ingredients and take no time at all to make! They are healthy, plant-based, and kid-friendly of course.
Vegan Burritos
1 pack of whole wheat tortillas
1 can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of corn
1 red bell pepper, chopped into corn sized pieces
2 avocados, peeled and mashed
1 tsp of chile powder
1/2 tsp of cumin
1/2 tsp of garlic salt
1 tbs of olive oil
In a large frying pan add the beans, bell pepper, and corn. Coat with the olive oil and cook on medium high heat for about 7 minutes. Add in spices and mix well. Continue cooking for another 4 minutes. Warm the tortillas. Top with mixture and avocado. Chipotle who?
Quinoa Salad
2 cups of cooked quinoa
1 can of drained and rinsed garbanzo beans
1 cup of diced cherry tomatoes
1 cup of chopped cucumber
1 cup of baby spinach
1/2 cup of chopped red onion
1 tbs of olive oil
1/2 tsp of garlic salt
1/2 of black pepper
Mix all of the ingredients into a large bowl. Chill for one hour. Serve and enjoy. That’s it!
Tofu and Veggie Bake
Ingredients :
1 pack of extra firm tofu, drained and diced into 1″ cubes
2 cups diced red potatoes
2 cups of chopped broccoli
2 chopped bell peppers
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 tbs of olive oil
Preheat the oven to 425º F. Toss all of the ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Make sure everything is completely coated with oil and vinegar. Spread onto a large sheet pan and throw in the oven for 30 minutes. Flip halfway through. Cook until potatoes are tender. Simple, but amazing.
