Higher protein, lower sugar meatless meal! I try to get at least 20 grams of protein per meal when possible but I don’t always want to eat meat. Here’s the recipe! Southwest Black Bean, Lentil, and Quinoa Skillet 4 Servings Ingredients Oil ½ Red Onion, Diced 1 packet Taco Seasoning (or make homemade) ½ cup Green Lentils, rinsed 1 (14.5 oz) can Fire Roasted Tomatoes 1 (15.5 oz) can Black Beans, drained and rinsed 1 cup Frozen Corn 2 cups Vegetable or Chicken Stock ⅔ cup Quinoa, rinsed ½ cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded (or any cheese) Instructions 1. In a medium pot, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add taco seasoning and sauté, stirring frequently, for 30 seconds more. 2. Stir in lentils, fire roasted tomatoes, black beans, corn, and vegetable stock. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and cook for 5 minutes. 3. Add quinoa, stir, cover, and continue to cook for 15-20 minutes or until lentils and quinoa are cooked through. 4. Serve with cheese and any toppings you love. Enjoy! The amount of protein will vary depending on the specific ingredients you use and how much of them you put in this recipe.
