Burrito Salad
Last night, Adam and I had a very late dinner that I'm calling the Burrito Salad. We had lots of greens, so we started with those on a big plate. I reheated some white rice leftover from takeout, and mixed in chopped cilantro and lime juice. I also reheated some refried black beans. We chopped up some cherry tomatoes for garnish, and piled everything on top of the lettuce, with salsa and sliced avocado on top. It was delicious, and, as Adam said, if you ate that meal every day of your life (maybe mixing in some kale) you would live to be 5 billion years old. The truth is, all of this is incredibly good for you, and the only fat is in the avocado and beans. I might try some brown rice and still eat blueberries from time to time, but this is a good recipe to guide you through a long, healthy life. And one that won't make you feel guilty for eating dinner at 10:00 PM.

YES! Swap out the refried beans for black beans, and maybe a touch less lettuce so it'll fit into tupperware, and you have a Yumm! bowl (originally from Cafe Yumm! in Eugene OR). We eat our homemade version... 3 times a week? 4?
ReplyDeleteSimple enough for lunch, warm and filling enough to be a light dinner... and you can put almost anything in it. I like black olives and vegan sour cream, but the real prize is Cafe Yumm's "yumm sauce" which is basically a hummus/nutritional-yeast dressing.
And we had dinner last night at 11:30 PM, so no guilt :)
