As much as I love beans, lentils, tofu and chickpeas…. I was eager to spice things up in the kitchen and came up with some seriously good quinoa meat that goes perfectly with Mexican.

FIRST OF ALL:
Preheat that oven to 180 degrees!

INGREDIENTS:-1.5 cups of quinoa
-Splash of water
-1 Tin of black beans

GIVE US THEM HERBS:
Totally obsessed with herbs and spices
-Dash of paprika-1 tsp Cumin seeds
-Dash of Chilli flakes
-S & P (of course)
1 tsp Turmeric
-3 tsp of tomato paste-1 tsp of coconut oil (or oil of your choice)

HOW TO:
Cook quinoa accordingly. When it’s ready strain and then mix in all the herbs, spices and sauces as well as the tin of strained black beans.
Throw it onto a hot pan with oil and cook for 5 minutes! Get that smasher out and press down the black beans (you may need to add a splash of water if mixture becomes too dry)

Then cook in oven at 180 degrees for 15-20 min until crunchy and golden

Serve in a taco bowl, in taco shells or just grab the spoon and go for your life.
