Tex Mex Meal Prep

Tex Mex Meal Prep

One of my favorite meal prep standbys is this gluten-free/veg Tex-Mex layered meal in a jar. Use your favorite dressing (my personal fav is jalapeño ranch) and you can assemble a week's worth of healthful, economic lunches in a matter of minutes. Now that's what I call a meal!

INGREDIENTS

1 cup cooked quinoa
2 tbsp minced cilantro
juice from half a lime
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup salad dressing
1/2 cup black beans
1/2 cup pico de gallo
1/3 cup shredded lettuce

INSTRUCTIONS

In a medium bowl combine cooked quinoa, cilantro, lime, and sea salt in a bowl. Mix together with a spoon.  Set aside. 

In a 16oz mason jar layer dressing, black beans, quinoa mixture, pico de gallo, and shredded lettuce.  Secure lid and store in refrigerator for up to 1 week.
