Helloooo,
So I made something wonderful the other day for lunch! It was what felt like a light lunch, but kept me full for a good amount of time. Any of you ever tried Sopes? They are really popular in Southern Mexico, and they are little, fried corn "masa" tortilla-type things topped with typically beans, cheese, lettuce, meat, and tomatoes. I lived off of these delicacies when I was in Mexico my first time, about six years ago (this was before I went vegan). Anyway, I was in the mood for some Mexican food, but I wanted to keep it healthy and nutritious- so this is what I came up with! Feel free to add any extra ingredients to it; I just used what I had.
What you need:
- eggplant
- avocado
- salsa or tomatoes
- cilantro
- onions
- quinoa
- black beans
- one lemon
- For the "masa", cut up an eggplant in thin slices. Cook the eggplant until lightly golden on both sides. (I used a nonstick pan, so I didn't use any oil)
- Mash up the avocado into guacamole
- Layer ingredients onto the eggplant masa: salsa, beans, guacamole, quinoa, onions, cilantro, squeeze lemon juice on top
- dash of salt on top
And they are as simple and delicious as that! Have a mini fiesta :)
Feeeed meeeee!
