7 Step Easy and Quick Dinner - Yummy Burritos

Step 1: Fry an onion, add about 500g of mince, add a can of drained and rinsed kidney beans, add burrito seasoning + 1/2 cup water and allow to reduce. Add a good handful of baby spinach leaves.

Step 2: Heat your tortilla. Most of them come with instructions for heating them in the microwave. Alternatively, wrap them in foil and heat them in the oven. Easy peasy.

Step 3: Add your mince mix to the warmed tortilla.

Step 4: Add grated cheese. If you buy this in a packet it will take you about 2 seconds, maybe less.

Step 5: Add a few slices of avocado. High in fat, but the GOOD fat. So it's essentially very healthy.

Step 6: Add a little salsa and sour cream. Lite sour cream if you're keeping it healthy.

Step 7: Try and roll it up to eat and realise that you've been a bit too generous with your ingredients, but only because it's healthy..........and try your best to squish it together anyway you can so you can actually eat this little parcel of goodness.

Step 7 probably only applies to me, so you can probably just roll this up and eat it in a dignified way and not drop a single morsel of the goodness inside. Enjoy.

Spinach, Pumpkin, Fetta, Mushroom, Pine Nut Risotto

I make this risotto all the time. My little ones LOVE it and I usually try and put as many vegies in as possible. It's also pretty thrifty, being vegetarian. What's not to love.

Depending on what I have available, I will include a combination of: spinach (I ALWAYS keep frozen spinach in the freezer, so easy), mushroom, roasted pumpkin, fetta and pine nuts. Yummy, yummy.

I won't go into details about how to make this, except to say that I heat some butter, add onion and garlic, then add the rice and cook the risotto. I usually add the frozen spinach when the risotto is about half way done and everything else goes in when the risotto is pretty much ready.

If you try this out, you will certainly add this to your list of regular meals.

Enjoy,
