Meatless Monday takes a Tex-mex twist!

The holidays are over… 2016 is here! And my kitchen makeover that I’ve taken on is halfway done! Let me tell you.. Refinishing cabinets is not light duty and the blogging definitely suffered! But while I wait for some cabinets and countertops, let’s get back to cooking it up gluten free!

N
  So, here’s what you need!
1 cup cooked quinoa- I cooked 1 cup with 1 1/2c water, 1/2 t cardamon, 1/2 tsp salt 

2 sweet potatoes – sliced (with my amazing new spiralizer!!! Love it!!)

1 red onion – chopped coarsely 

5 sweet peppers – sliced 

Salt, pepper, italien seasoning, red pepper

Sauté it up with 1 T olive oil

 

Uh oh … The cooktop is dying.. Down to 1.5 units with no temperature control:( …hence the remodel!   

Sweet potatoes, red onion and red peppers… They go together like sugar and spice and everything nice! 

1 package corn tortillas – I like Mission

3 cups shredded cheese- Monterey Jack 

1 can refried beans

1 jar of salsa verde

LETS GO!

Step 1-Layer tortillas in pan  

Step 2- Spread on refried beans (about 1/3 of can)  

Step 3- Layer on quinoa, veggies and cheese

  
    

Step 4-Repeat! 

   
Step 5- Pour on the salsa & cover liberally with cheese!

Step 6- Cook 350 for 30 mins!

Yippee! Enjoy! This turned out great! Super delicious!

Remember! No one does awesome like you do! Get out, get active, get happy… No one is going to do it for you!
