One of Connie’s favorites, this recipe is so easy that even a child can prepare it. (Her kids actually do!) This recipe is so versatile you can add and omit items based on your personal preference. Reprinted from TastyPlanner.com
I enjoy simple, stress-free meals that don’t require a lot of prep - are gluten-free - and that my girls will enjoy. They love to eat this with tortilla chips. It is yummy and filling! Sometimes I add a little white corn or a bit of spicy jalapeno or serrano and lay it over a bed of fresh greens. You can also add a can of organic pinto beans and put the whole combination into a whole grain or gluten-free wrap!
