Quinoa + Chipotle
Inspired by: Tex-Mex burrito bowl
Description
Description
We’re big burrito fans here, so we created our own version of the Tex-Mex go-to. Our version is fiber-rich, paleo-friendly, and so satisfying. We started with familiar spices (like cilantro, garlic, mesquite, and chipotle), but swapped rice out for gluten-free quinoa. Quinoa is loaded with fiber and contains all nine essential amino acids, making it a complete protein. If you’re looking for more protein and extra authenticity, we have two words for you: black beans.

Key ingredients
Zucchini
Low in calories, high in water, and rich in fiber (not to mention potassium, folate, and vitamin A!), zucchini is a great way to load up on the essentials and feel satisfied without the splurge.
Quinoa
A serving of quinoa gets you 6 grams of protein, 4 grams of fiber, and a good source of both iron and zinc.
Tomato
These babies are blowing up with vitamin C and antioxidants, the super goodies needed to boost your immune system and glowing skin to boot.
Purple Corn
Eye-catching, mouth-watering and all-around good, this unique type of corn makes a nutritious alternative to white or yellow corn.
Mesquite
Mesquite powder comes from the pods of the mesquite tree and packs a naturally nutty, smokey, slightly sweet flavor.
Chipotle
Made from smoked and dried jalapeño peppers, chipotle chilies pack a punch of flavor and heat and a serving is rich in antioxidant vitamin C.
