Revised Nachos


Hello!

So, after spending two weeks in PerĂº and five weeks at diabetes camp, I'm ready to post something new! Tonight, I really wanted to recreate a refried bean dish an Egyptian cook at camp made for me (since I was vegetarian), but I didn't want to eat it on chips. So, this is what I made! It was actually really delicious!

I used...
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 2 cloves of garlic
  • 1 Cup chopped mushrooms
  • 1 Cup Chopped Lettuce
  • 1 16 oz Can of Whole Pinto Beans
  • 1/2 Cup Nutritional Yeast Gravy (see other recipe)
  • 3 Tbsp Oil
Then...
  1. Heat oil over low heat in a large skillet
  2. Add spices; I used cumin, curry, and salt
  3. Add chopped onion and minced garlic
  4. When the onion and garlic is starting to caramelize, add chopped mushrooms and tomatoes
  5. Raise heat to medium
  6. Cook until most of the juice from the tomatoes has cooked out
  7. Add beans (rinced) and let cook for another five minutes
  8. Add nutritional yeast gravy and cook until all the ingredients are mixed
  9. Serve on a plate with chopped lettuce on top
It's actually really good. Something about the juicy tomatoes with the onion flavor in the sauce makes my mouth water...
Until next time!
