Healthy Mexican Lettuce Wraps

This dinner is just to delicious to not share.  I found something similar online over at Damn Delicious that was a vegetarian meal and it sounded good.  But I needed to make it fit my dietary needs and I like meat. So I did a little changing and came up with this easy to make, one pan dish.  My kids (the pickiest eaters ever)  even loved it! It is packed full of veggies, protein and fiber and tastes delish.  This one is going on the menu for sure!

1 lb ground lean hamburger (opt) 

If you want a vegetarian version of the recipe just omit the hamburger and continue with the recipe.

1 clove garlic

1/2 c chopped onion

11/2 c. chopped peppers (variety of colors)

1/2 tsp.cumin

1 1/2 tsp. chili powder

salt to taste

Brown meat in a large fry pan with veggies and seasonings. Add remaining ingredients to pan.

 1 can Rotel tomatoes with green chilies

1 can Rotel tomatoes with lime and cilantro

1 can black beans

1 can chicken or vegetable broth

1 C. quinoa

1 can corn or 1 c. fresh corn

 This is kind of a dump and go kind of thing.  Just pour cans and quinoa into pan, stir and simmer for about 20 minutes.  Just long enough for the quinoa to cook.  

You can serve this wrapped in lettuce cups for a healthy meal or use with tortilla chips and lettuce for a salad.

sour cream and avocado optional
