    Quinoa Black Bean Burger

    How to Make Quinoa Black Bean Burger

    This flavorful, vegetarian burger is packed with protein and fiber from black beans and quinoa. Pair with a filling salad on the side, like this Broccoli and Spinach Salad, for a satisfying, meatless meal. These are great to make ahead and freeze—after forming the patties, lay them out on a baking sheet and pop them in the freezer. Once they are frozen solid, you can take them off the sheet and store them in a freezer-safe bag.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside.
    2. Slice one round edge of the sweet potato thinly lengthwise. Slice the other round edge of the sweet potato thinly lengthwise. Discard those slices.

    How to Make Open Face Egg & Spinach Salad Sandwich

    This one dish meal is colorful, fresh, quick, easy, and delicious! Just right for one or more, especially after a trip to the Farmer’s Market.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Place egg in a pan just large enough to hold it. Add enough cold water to cover egg by 1 inch. Bring to a boil. Once the water comes to a boil, watch carefully. Boil 30 seconds to 1 minute. Turn heat off and cover. (Let sit 18 minutes. Note: Boiling the egg too long results in a green ring around the yolk; however, it is still safe to eat.)
    2. Mix together the tomato, corn, scallion, parsley, olive oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Set aside to let the flavors blend. This can be done ahead of time.
    3. Toast the bread and place it on a large plate. Lay the spinach on top of the bread.
    4. Slice the egg into 5–6 slices and lay them on top of the spinach. Spoon the tomato corn mixture onto the sandwich and serve.

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Whisk the egg, egg white, and milk until well combined and slightly frothy. Sift the coconut flour into the mixture and whisk again until well combined. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 15 minutes.

    2. While the wrap batter is resting, toss together the chicken, artichoke hearts, red onion, baby spinach, and Italian dressing. Keep the filling refrigerated until needed.

    3. Add the cooking spray to a 10-inch nonstick sauté pan over medium heat. Let the pan heat until a drop of water sizzles in the bottom of the pan.

    4. Re-whisk the wrap batter and then pour 1/4 cup of the wrap batter to thinly coat the bottom of the pan (add a little more if needed to coat the bottom of the pan). Let the wrap cook until the edges begin to brown. Using a spatula, flip the wrap and continue to cook for another minute. Slide the wrap on to a plate and continue this process to make 6 “wraps” or crepes. Let the wraps cool.

    5. Divide the chicken mixture evenly among each wrap (about 1/2 cup of filling per wrap) and roll.

    How to Make Grilled Pork and Cheese Quesadillas

    A Mexican favorite can now be yours. When a quesadilla is grilled rather than prepared in an indoor oven, the result is smoky, rich-flavored quesadilla. If you can’t grill outside, this works great prepared on a stovetop grill pan.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Prepare an outdoor grill for medium heat. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the pork and sauté for 5–6 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
    2. On two baking sheets, lay out 4 tortillas. Spray tops lightly with oil. Flip over. Spread 1/2 cup of pork evenly over the tortilla. Sprinkle with cheese, scallions, and chilies. Top all the tortillas with the remaining tortillas to form a quesadilla and press together lightly. Spray lightly with oil.
    3. When the grill is hot, place quesadillas on the grill. Grill for 5–7 minutes on each side. During some of this time, you may cover the grill to help melt the cheese and brown the quesadillas. When the first side is golden, flip over and grill the other side. Cut into wedges and serve with yogurt, salsa, and tomatoes.
