It's a Vegan Fiesta, Charlie Brown!

Suzanne and I were craving something along the lines of Qdoba, so we decided to try our hand at creating something similar. This is probably the quickest and easiest recipe we've made during this whole experience. However, don't let the ease of this dish deceive you. It was super filling and incredibly tasty.

RICE:
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot. Once boiling, add in 2 cups of brown rice. Set the heat to low, cover the pot, and let sit for 30 minutes. When the rice is done, add in lime juice from 2 limes, some salt, and a bundle of chopped cilantro.

BEANS:
Drain and rinse a can of black beans (Suzanne and I use the Low Sodium stuff). Place them in a pot with some water (just enough to cover the beans) and heat on low until ready.

VEGGIES:
Select whatever veggies you would like to roast. (Suzanne used zucchini, yellow squash, red peppers, green peppers, yellow peppers, orange peppers, and red onion.) Cover a baking sheet with aluminium foil and preheat the oven to 350 degrees (give or take - Suzanne was in charge of the veggies so I'm not quite sure of the temperature). While the oven is preheating, prepare your veggies by cutting them up. place them on the baking sheet and drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and salt to taste. Place them in the oven and let them cook for about 15 to 20 minutes (you can gauge when you think they're done and to your liking). We also chopped up some lettuce to add at the end.

When everything is done, pile it all into a bowl and eat till your heart's content! As some of you may know, I love heat, so I added some homemade habanero hot sauce from my brother-in-law. As I said before, although it was probably the easiest dish we have made, it was crazy filling.

I'm feeling creative tonight so I may try my hand at something crazy. With that being said, another post is right around the corner! Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Keep calm and be kind :P
