Looking for a great healthy option to switch things up at home?
Coach Jasmine DelaRosa (Ole Soccer Chef) has you covered!
Check out the Chipotle Quinoa Bowls recipe that can help you make something delicious and low cost that your body will thank you for.
Quinoa is a rich source (>20% of the Daily value, DV) of the B vitamins thiamine, riboflavin, vitamin B6, and folate and is a rich source of the dietary minerals iron, magnesium, phosphorus, and zinc. Quinoa is also a good source (10-19% of DV) of the B vitamins niacinand pantothenic acid, vitamin E, and the dietary mineral potassium. The pseudo cereal contains a modest amount of calcium, and thus is useful for vegans and those who are lactose intolerant.[24] It is gluten-free and considered easy to digest. Because of these characteristics, it is being considered a possible crop in NASA‘s Controlled Ecological Life Support System for long-duration human occupied space flights.
Chipotle Quinoa Bowls
Ingredients:
1 cup Quinoa
1 can diced Tomatoes
1 can Black Beans, rinsed
1 cup frozen corn
1-1&1/2 tbsp Cumin
2 Bell Pepper, chopped
1 jalapeño, diced
3 tbsp Cilantro, chopped
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 cup water
Add all the ingredients (except the cilantro)to a sauce pan with a lid. Turn heat on medium high heat to bring to a boil, once boiling turn heat down to low and let simmer with the lid on for about 15 minutes until the liquid has evaporated and quinoa is cooked through.
Want to add some Guacamole to it?
Top with Guacamole!
Ingredients:
3 ripe Avocados
1/4 cup Purple Onion Chopped
1 Jalapeño, diced
1 juice of a Lime
1/4 cup Cilantro, diced
Salt & Pepper to taste
This meal cost me $20 to buy at the market ….every single ingredient on the lists except salt and pepper! And I even had enough to make this a double recipe! Healthy, clean, vegetarian meals can be affordable too! 1 pot, a few ingredients and about 20 minutes of your time and you can have your own healthy version of chipotle without the big expense of $10 a bowl.
