Welcome to a tasteful new segment, our President Emalee’s favorite recipes. Where she will rate the recipe from easy to hard to make as well as tell you all the instructions and ingredients needed to make it! This week we are featuring Black Bean Fajita Pasta.
This was a relatively easy recipe and super tasty! It is made all in one pot, so that is nice and easy. Other reasons to love this recipe are it is vegetarian and it is easy to freeze for meal prep! Two teaspoons of chili powder might be too much if someone does not like spice. This is a recipe where the spices and toppings can be played around with to the maker’s preferable taste.
Here is the ingredient list:
-
1 Bell pepper
-
1 15 oz can Black beans, drained
-
1 7 oz can Corn kernels
-
1/2 Lime
-
1/4 cup Red onion
-
1 15 oz can Diced tomatoes
-
1 cup Vegetable Stock
-
2 cups small pasta shapes
-
2 tsp Chili powder
-
1 tsp Paprika
-
1 tsp Salt
-
1 tsp Cumin
-
1 cup Mozzarella cheese
Instructions: In a medium pot, combine all ingredients including pasta and stock. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and simmer for fifteen minutes. Make sure to stir every couple of minutes. Next, stir in the lime juice and mozzarella cheese, until evenly distributed and melted. An optional step is to serve with lime wedges and cilantro. This makes four dinner servings or is a great meal prep lunch option. Hope you enjoy this yummy recipe!
