KIDNEY BEANS
IDEA: KIDNEY BEAN BURRITO
How? Providing they are cooked thoroughly (when uncooked they can be toxic), kidney beans make a welcome addition to most meals. Try adding them to a stew, soup or salad for a quick nutritional boost — they are rich in vitamins, minerals and fibre, and contain around 15g of protein per 180g (1 cup). Or, for a quick and delicious dinner, cook some chopped red onion, red pepper, crushed garlic, chilli powder, tomato purée, chopped tomatoes and kidney beans in a pan and add this, a few lettuce leaves, some fresh tomato salsa and a little dairy-free yoghurt to a tortilla wrap, for a plant-based burrito.
