Sometimes the Simplest Meal is the Best

Mexican food is a staple in my home. I make pinto beans at least once a week, and keep a pot of them in the fridge to eat with our meals at any time of day. My husband makes eggs scrambled with onions, mushrooms, and peppers almost every day, and he eats them with a nice heap of fresh beans.

I like to make a nice simple and light lunch with mine. As you can see here, pinto beans with pico de gallo and avocados is what's on my plate today. I get delicious salt-free dip mixes at the market (which end up being seasoning for everything other than dips at my house) and my favorite is the Spicy Chipotle Dip Mix. This is phenomenal on beans! I like the smoky spiciness that it imparts on my creamy, earthy beans. The pico made with fresh summer ingredients and the cool avocado makes perfect tacos that I could eat every single day.

Lunchtime!
