Goat Cheese Mini Pizza

One of my favorite spring lunches is this lovely beauty! My family and I have been enjoying this for the past year or so, I honestly can't remember when we first made it but I have never looked back.



What you will need:
Goat cheese
Sun dried tomatoes
Basil
Balsamic vinegar reduction
Tortilla

Note: there are no exact measurements on this, it is completely up to you.

I use a griddle to cook these on but I am sure you can make them on a pan on the stove.

Put the goat cheese on a tortilla so it can start melting, after it melts a little add the sun dried tomatoes. After the cheese is melted and tomatoes warmed sprinkle the basil and top add the balsamic vinegar reduction and

ENJOY!

Bean, Quinoa, and Avocado Burrito

Yummied, yum, yum, yummmmmm!  I have made this recipe twice in the past week. As I sit and write this on a Saturday night I am already planning the next time I can make it! So, so very good!



What you will need:
1 T olive oil
1 small onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 handful of cilantro
1/4 cup of lime juice
2 colored peppers, chopped
1 1/2 t chili powered
1 t cumin
juice of 1/2 a lime
salt and black pepper
1 can of beans, drained and rinsed
1 can of sweet corn, drained and rinsed
Whole wheat tortillas

Cilantro Lime Quinoa
1 cup of quinoa
2 cups water
cilantro
juice of 1/2 a lime

Avocado Smash
1 avocado
1/2 red pepper
1/2 yellow pepper
1-2 chopped tomatoes
juice of 1/2 a lime
salt and pepper to taste

Whole wheat tortillas


First start by cooking quinoa according to package directions.  After cooked pull off heat and add cilantro and lime juice. 

Now it is time to start the other filling for the burrito.

Sautee 2 peppers and onion and add garlic at the end.

After sautéing add beans, corn, cilantro and seasonings. Keep warm on a low medium heat.

Now time to make the avocado smash.

 Smash up the avocado and add the rest of the peppers, lime juice, tomato, salt and pepper. 


Now put the cilantro quinoa, black bean mix, and avocado smash into a tortilla wrap it up and ENJOY!

If you keep the avocado pit with the avocado smash you can keep the left overs in the fridge.  It will not turn brown and be ready for leftovers.  Once made this is a great go-to lunch or in a hurry supper.
