this is a busy week sandwiched between visits from
my family last weekend & dustin's family this coming weekend.
my dad spoke truth during his visit here when he said that people in this city have to live with intention; meaning the menial things need to be planned well so
that 'real' life can be truly enjoyed.
he was oh-so right.
(more on their visit to come...)
as city dwellers, dustin and i try to plan our meals each week
in an effort to maximize our time.
(as i'm sure most of you do!)
this little recipe from Real Simple has been a staple for
the past few months so i thought i would share.
it's easy, it's healthy, and it's inexpensive!
1 TB olive oil
1 14 oz package extra firm tofu- drained, patted dry & crumbled
OR
1 can of black beans- drained & rinsed
(i can not like tofu.)
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
kosher salt (i omit this since my beans have salt.)
black pepper
1 10 oz pkg frozen corn
1 5 oz pkg baby spinach
8 small flour tortillas
crumbled goat cheese
salsa
heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. add the protein of your choice, chili powder, 1/2 tsp salt (again, optional) and 1/4 tsp pepper.
cook, tossing occasionally, 4-5 minutes.
cook the corn as directed on the package in the meantime.
add the corn to the tofu or bean mix.
add the spinach and 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. toss until wilted.
fill the tortillas with the protein mix, goat cheese & salsa.
this serves 4 and only takes about 20 minutes total!
enjoy!
