This is one of my favorite go-to meals when I know there won’t be time to prepare dinner tonight. It takes just minutes in the morning to get the yams into the slow cooker, and then in the evening pulling it all together for serving is a breeze. Bonus: Everyone can even assemble their own!
Main Ingredient:
One organic yam per person, scrubbed and individually wrapped in foil. Place yams in slow cooker, and cook on high for 4 hours or 7 – 8 hours on low. This is all the early preparation you need to do before your busy day.
Other Ingredients:
Seasoned black beans — you may use your own recipe (a great way to use leftovers) or canned as shown below.
Guacamole — once again, your own homemade or purchased.
Vegan shredded cheddar cheese
Salsa — homemade or purchased (I like to add a squeeze of lime to my salsa)
Organic corn chips.
As you can see, making this is simple as can be if time is a factor. I know homemade everything is always the best, and I feel like I’m cheating when I open a can, but this is the 21st century. We’re all strapped for time, and if I can put a healthy inexpensive meal on the table, it sure beats take-out. So, dip your chips and enjoy a healthy meal with little preparation and lots of fun.
