Since
cinco de mayo is right around the corner I thought it would be a
great idea to cook something Mexican.
First
I looked for a recipe with sweet potatoes. But unfortunantely I
didn't get sweet potatoes at the grocery store. So I got beans and
corn and decided to do a chicken quinoa stir-fry.
Curious
about the recipe?
Here
are the directions:
First
drain corn and pre-cooked beans. Set them aside.
Bring
four cups of water to a boil, pour in two cups of Quinoa and cook
until there's no excess water left. (Please notice that I used a
bulgur & quinoa mix, this is optional and totally your choice.
Take whatever you prefer.)
Next
heat up a pan and pour in one tablespoon of olive oil. Cut up one
chicken breast in bite-sized chunks and add in. As soon as the
chicken is cooked through put it on a plate and set it aside.
Then
slice up one onion, add it to the pan and stir-fry until it's
slightly brown. Then mix in beans and corn. After a few minutes
reduce the heat and add five tablespoons of tomato sauce.
Afterwards
add in the roasted chicken breast and heat up all together again.
Season with a lot of black pepper, chili and a binch of salt.
Place
a little bit of the quinoa on a plate and top it with the bean &
corn mix. If you want you can add a little cheese as well or decorate with some flowers. (by the way: My boyfriend brought me these purple flowers from Egypt)
Have a
great cinco de mayo!
