Meatless Mexican Plate

MEATLESS MEXICAN PLATE

By Clea Grady of Veganuary

I love Mexican food, and I like to eat all my favourite things on one plate! This is great served with flour or corn tortillas, tacos, or just on its own.

Ingredients:

  • Black Rice

  • 1 can of refried beans

  • Chilli Non Carne

  • 2 ripe avocados

  • Red onion (about half a small one)

  • Stalk of spring onion

  • 1 x red chilli

  • 6-8 cherry tomatoes

  • Juice of about half a lemon

  • Salt and cracked pepper

Black Rice:

  • 1 part rice to 2 parts water, bring to boil.

  • Turn down and simmer for 40 minutes.

Guacamole:

  • Mash up 2 ripe avocados with a fork.

  • Finely dice some red onion (about half a small one) and a stalk of spring onion – add to bowl.

  • Finely dice one red chilli (up to you if you keep the seeds or not!) – add to bowl.

  • Chop up about 6-8 cherry tomatoes into little pieces (in half and then in half again at least) – add to bowl.

  • Squeeze in the juice of about half a lemon – do this to taste. You can always add more lemon, so start off with a little first.

  • Salt and cracked pepper.
