20 Min. Meal in Pictures: Southwest Stir Fry

While making this meal the other night, I began to take snapshots of each step with the idea that maybe I can put the recipe on here in pictures. This meal is kid-friendly, versatile, quick, and delicious. Enjoy!



(For ease of grocery buying, the ingredient list is below the  pictures - Would love opinions on this style of recipe sharing!)




 The basics
Throw it in and saute

Add...

Saute until the asparagus (or spinach if you like - or leave the green veg out) is bright green but still slightly crunchy


Quick fry a corn tortilla to soften


Put the veggie mix on top of the tortilla with a bit of cheese...


Possible toppers


Make extra, they are likely to ask for seconds!
The Ingredient List:

Olive oil
Half an onion, chopped
Can of black beans
One small green bell pepper, chopped
One small red (or other color) bell pepper, chopped
Cumin (I'm a huge cumin fan, so put in as much as you like!)
Salt (black beans need salt but make this to taste)
Cube of veggie bouillon
1 1/4 c. frozen corn
Can diced chili peppers
Four or five asparagus spears, or alternately a large handful of fresh spinach
Corn or flour tortillas (or tortilla chips - this makes a good dip for later on too)*
1 or 2 tomatoes, roughly chopped*
1 or 2 ripe avocados, peeled and roughly chopped*
Shredded cheese*

*Optional
