Put something hot on your salad!

 Eating whole foods plant based made me wonder how I was going to make my taco salad. I like to have something hot on my lunch salad on cold days. I really like how this turned out and it hits the spot for me. We use this filling in burritos as well. This recipe is one I came up with. 

 

Taco Salad or Burritos - WFPB

2 cans or 2 2/3 C black beans

1 1/2 cups cooked brown rice

1 large onion

5 garlic chopped cloves

1 large green pepper

1 can chopped tomatoes

1 cup frozen corn

1 small can green chillies

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp chilli powder

1 tsp cumin

¾ cup left over cheese sauce

 

Cook garlic, onion and green pepper in a bit of water for a few minutes until they begin to brown.

 

Drain and add black beans, tomatoes, frozen corn and seasonings to the pan with your cooked garlic, onion and green peppers. Cook on a medium heat for a few minutes or until the beans have softened.

 

Add rice and cheese sauce to the pan and mix until it's fully incorporated with the other ingredients.

 

Use as a taco salad, burrito or eat it as is.
