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.
