Home late, don't feel like cooking- mainly because the a/c is out in our kitchen, but we need to eat, I'm Starving! 

Here is a super simple complete protein, vegetarian dish you can whip up in less time it takes for you to find your take away menus and call in your dinner for delivery.

Ingredients
½-1 cup frozen sweet corn (fresh is always better, but who has the time tonight!)
1 red onion, diced
1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 red pepper, diced
1 can organic black beans, rinsed and drained
1 ½ cups quinoa (you can use rice if you prefer)
1 lime, juiced
handful of coriander (cilantro), chopped

Method

  • Sauté the corn in 1-2 tbsp coconut oil on medium high heat and season with chili powder, cumin and coriander until it begins to brown, about 2-3 mins. 
  • Add the onion, garlic and red pepper and sauté another 2 mins. 
  • Add the black beans and toss to heat. (note- do not cook black beans, just toss them in the mixture and turn off heat.)
  • Remove from heat and add the cooked quinoa (or rice), lime juice and coriander and mix until all ingredients are combined.

This can be served warm or cold. I served mine with organic blue corn chips and avocado and it's my lunch again today. 

Enjoy!
