Description

Think kidney-friendly eating is bland? Not so! This delicious meal has a bit of a spicy kick, yet the ingredients are almost entirely plant-based. Plants pack a ton of fiber and anti-inflammatory nutrients to help you feel great and live longer. Whole, less-processed fruits, veggies, beans, seeds, nuts and whole grains are the healthiest go-tos for snacks, meals and even desserts.

Directions

  1. Drain, rinse and heat black beans.
  2. Layer ½ cup cooked quinoa into each bowl.
  3. Add ½ cup black beans to each bowl.
  4. Add ½ cup lettuce to each bowl.
  5. Top each bowl with 2 tablespoons salsa, ¼ cup cheese, 2 tablespoons sour cream and 1 tablespoon green onions.
  6. Serve with 10 tortilla chips and enjoy!
