You’ve heard of one pot meals. This is a one casserole dish meal! Throw all of your ingredients into a large casserole dish, put it in the oven, and not only have you cut way down on your prep time, and your clean-up time, but now you’ve got a meal to feed an entire family, or leftovers for days! Skinny Ms. has thrown several nutritious, superfood ingredients into one dish, and we’ve baked up a healthy casserole rich in Mexican flavors that will please everyone from toddlers to adults.
The base of this dish is quinoa, a superfood for good reason. It’s a seed that mimics a grain, but retains the high fiber and protein of a seed, while delivering numerous vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Add black beans to the mix for a perfect chain of amino acids that provides you with protein and fiber that, when combined with quinoa, make for a meal that will keep you feeling full, satisfied, and energized.
Add that delicious Mexican flavor with salsa, cumin, and chili powder. Top your casserole with shredded cheese, but make sure to select the reduced fat variety. Your casserole will come out of the oven rich, hearty, and flavorful, and utterly guilt-free.
