Roasted Spring Vegetable Burritos
I often write Tex-Mex inspired meals into our weeknight meal plan (they always go over well with the kids), so here’s a fun way to switch things up a bit to celebrate spring vegetables. These Roasted Spring Vegetable Burritos showcase the season’s freshest carrots and asparagus and make for a delicious meatless lunch or dinner.

Adobo Black Bean Fajita Bowls with Avocado Yogurt
I’ve never met a grain bowl I didn’t like and this Tex Mex-inspired fajita bowl is no exception. Brimming with plant-based goodness like black beans, peppers, onions and brown rice, this recipe is as delicious as it is easy. To add big flavor fast, and skip wrangling multiple spice jars, I’m using an all-in-one Adobo […]
Leftover Chili Nachos
Unless I’m stuffing it into sweet potatoes or using it as a love nest for eggs, the last bits of a pot of chili often make their way onto tortilla chips. Baked with cheese and topped with fresh salsa, canned beans, and avocado, nachos for dinner is often my kids’ vote when it comes to […]
One Pan Salsa Chicken and Rice
A spin on one of our favorite weeknight staple meals, baked chicken and rice, this One Pan Salsa Chicken and Rice is made with Tex-Mex spices and salsa. Think of it like cheater Arroz con Pollo. Even better, though? Under 10 ingredients, no prep required, and ready in about 30 minutes.
One Pot Taco Pasta
Nothing beats taco or pasta night, unless it’s taco pasta night. This One Pot Taco Pasta begins and ends with one pan (which ups your odds of convincing someone else to do the dishes). Saute ground beef (or turkey) along with a couple cups of veg, then cook the whole wheat pasta right in the […]
15-Minute Lentil Taco “Meat”
There are a lot of food impersonators out there – sweet potato as toast, coconut as bacon, carrots as smoked salmon. While I can’t say the majority of them appeal to me (toast is toast), there are a few I’ll endorse. Like lentil taco “meat”, not because we don’t go for beef, but because we […]

Leftover Pulled Pork Tostadas
