Let Mexico inspire you with these vegetarian burritos bursting with flavor! An ideal recipe for a quick yet original meal on weeknights, sure to be loved by the whole family.

4 servings

Ingredients

  Rice – This recipe calls for pre-cooked rice, so leftover rice is great.
  Beans – I used a can of pinto beans that I had in the pantry. However, any kind of bean will work (black, kidney, chickpeas, lentils).
  Vegetables – I used red onion, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper. 
  Garlic and Jalapeno – Fresh garlic and jalapeño add extra flavor and heat.
  Spices – This recipe is seasoned with cumin, paprika, smoked paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.  

Fresh vegetables, black beans come together quickly for a satisfying weeknight couscous bowl.

I have leftover rice and a can of green lentils. And look at that, a can of diced tomatoes waiting in the pantry...

Green lentils and rice. That's Greek you know ;)

I found this looking for variation of the famous Italian Wedding Soup. This super creamy, one pot, pasta soup is truly one of the most delicious soups ever.

Prep Time 15 minutes | Total Time 45 minutes

At first I thought this was soup. But only 200ml of liquid, no it's a bowl.

One-pot dishes aren't just for the colder autumn and winter months. This recipe for white bean and spring green one-pot is light and packed full of fresh spring flavours. What's more, it's ready in just 30 minutes and under 300 calories.
