Mexican Pizza - Meatless Meals!

Mexican Pizza 


Ingredients:

  • Sprouted corn tortillas or whole grain tortillas 
  • 1.5 cups salsa or tomato sauce
  • 2 cups canned organic black beans or meat of your choice (I just use one can)
  • 1 cup green pepper chopped
  • 1/2 white onion
  • 1/2 jalapeño pepper thinly sliced (optional)
  • 1 cup freshly grated organic cheddar cheese
  • 1 TB chili powder (optional)
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1 lime
  • 1 or 2 avocados

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400º. 
As oven is preheating, place tortillas on rack in oven for 3-4 minutes (until tortilla becomes hard but not crisp). 
Remove tortillas and first top with 1/4 cup salsa, a sprinkle of chili powder, 1/3 black beans, green peppers, onions, cheese, and topping with jalapeño (just eye ball all the ingredients when it comes to topping the tortilla...just go with how much you want).
Top toasted tortillas with salsa
Add black beans, green bell pepper, white onion (for my 3-yr old, I only put the black beans) 
Finally top with freshly grated cheddar cheese
Place tortillas back in oven and bake for 8-10 minutes.
Remove from oven and serve with a slice of lime, chopped romaine, avocado or sour cream. Delicious!!


(Since this will be a repeat meal for the next day, I just chop extra so I don't have to the next night and then all I have to do is prepare the tortillas and bake.)

Potato-Egg Bake


This is one of my favorite breakfast recipes that will last you a few days! My 3-yr old gobbles this up!! I love changing up breakfast and making easy egg-bake's like this...especially when mornings get a little busy. Make is the night before and you're set for breakfast in the morning! I usually serve this with a slice of toast or fresh fruit.

Here's what you'll need:

  • 8 eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 sweet potato, skinned and chopped (You could also use 2.5 cups frozen shredded potatoes, but it does not provide the health benefits like sweet potatoes do. Plus I like the taste of this dish with sweet potato, rather than regular white potatoes.)
  • 1/2 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 to 1 cup fresh chopped spinach (I usually chop up around 2 handfuls of spinach)
  • 3-4 chopped mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup cubed ham or chopped cooked bacon (optional)
  • 1/4 of a bell pepper, chopped (any color works...I used what I had on hand and that was a green one)
  • 1 tsp Himalayan salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2-3/4 cup freshly shredded cheddar cheese to top

Directions:

Preheat oven to 325º. 
Grease a 9x9 baking dish and set aside. 
In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs and milk together until frothy and combined. 
Add in 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, spinach, mushrooms, ham or bacon (if desired), bell pepper, salt, and black pepper and mix well.
Pour into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with 1/2-3/4 cup cheese.
Bake about 45 minutes or until mixture is set and knife comes out clean when inserted in the center. 
Serve immediately.
