Guest Post: Healthy Mexican

Guest blog by Danielle, a reader

I absolutely love Mexican food, especially California Tortilla! While trying to fall asleep last night, I decided that I would try to make my own healthy variation of a burrito bowl.

I started the dish this morning by soaking 1/2 cup dry black beans in water. When I got back from class 8 hours later, I threw it into a pot with fresh water, letting it boil then simmer, mixed with a bouillon cube. In a pan, I stir-fried 1/2 onion and a few baby bell peppers with some PAM spray.

Finally, I put together the bowl:

• a bed of steamed broccoli
• medium carrot (chopped and microwaved for a minute until soft)
• black beans
• onion & pepper mix
• handful cherry tomatoes
• tbs medium salsa

… and voila, a delicious end to a long day
