We love this recipe because it is a super healthy twist on your Mexican burrito bowl. By swapping out sour cream for yoghurt and using extra lean beef, we get a nutritious meal with a big protein hit.
Ingredients
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
500g extra lean beef mince
1 tin refried beans
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
4 cups baby spinach
1 cucumber sliced
2 medium tomatoes diced
2 avocado mashed
8 tbsp high-protein plain greek yoghurt
1 lime quartered
Spring onions finely sliced
Coriander to serve
500g extra lean beef mince
1 tin refried beans
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp oregano
1 tsp cumin
4 cups baby spinach
1 cucumber sliced
2 medium tomatoes diced
2 avocado mashed
8 tbsp high-protein plain greek yoghurt
1 lime quartered
Spring onions finely sliced
Coriander to serve
Method
- Heat a non-stick fry pan to medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the beef to the pan and cook for 3 minutes or until the beef begins to brown.
- Add the spices to the pan and cook for a further minute or until fragrant.
- Add the refried beans to the pan, along with 2-3 tbsp of water. Stir to combine, then cook at a simmer for 3-5 minutes or until bean mixture has softened and combined with beef.
- Prepare the burrito bowls by adding the salad ingredients to a serving bowl. Top with beef mixture, mashed avocado, greek yoghurt, lime wedges, spring onion and coriander. Serve immediately.
Notes:
- To make vegan, swap the beef mince with 2 x 400g tins of four bean mix, or 170g TVP, and swap the greek yoghurt for a plant-based oat or almond yoghurt.
