Mexican Dinner Bowls
Apr 27, 2020
This is one of my favourite dinner meals! It’s so quick and easy to bulk up your other halfs dinner. Example, I use a double serve microwave rice. I eat 100g and give he gets 150g or you can make extra for your lunch the next day or have 2 x smaller extra meals as food prep.
Ingredients
300g tofu (you can use chicken) diced into 1 cm squares
1 red onion diced (1/4 for the guacamole)
1 red capcicum diced 1 cm squares
handful cherry tomatoes sliced into quarters
1/2 mexican spice mix sachet (I look for a brand that has less than 10g of sugar per 100g on the back)
2 Tbsp olive oil
Guacamole
2 avocado
1/4 red onion diced from above
1 tbsp lime juice
handful of coriander chopped
salt & pepper to taste
To serve
Brown Rice (I usually use microwaved if finishing work late)
Baby spinach or Salad Mix
Method
- In a large frying pan heat olive oil then add diced onions and cook for 1-2 minutes. Add tofu and cook until slightly golden, then add capsicum.
- Sprinkle Mexican spice mix all over the mixture and cook for additional 5 mins
- Meanwhile make guacamole in a bowl by mashing avocado with a fork, then mixing through onion, lime juice and coriander (if you like spicy add chopped jalapenos or chilli flakes)
- To serve in a bowl add cooked rice on one half and a big handful of baby spinach on the other half. Top with the tofu mix, followed by a generous serving of guacamole.
- Garnish with leftover coriander, chopped cherry tomatoes and a squeeze of lime juice for a fresh taste (I also like to add sriracha sauce for spice)
