This recipe came together using food I usually keep on hand in my pantry, fridge, and freezer. It’s a perfect balance of sweet and savory as well as refreshing thanks to the lime and cilantro. It’s vegan and gluten-free It’s high in protein and fiber as well. I sometimes eat this as a meal, but it can easily be served over your favorite rice or quinoa or as a side dish for your favorite protein. It comes together really quickly, and it’s nearly impossible to mess up. I hope you’ll give it a try. Buen provecho!
