This dish is the perfect example of something you can #CookAhead or #CookOnceEatTwice. It combines wholegrains, lean protein and a variety of vegetables into one fuss-free meal. It’s delicious eaten on the day, but can also be enjoyed the day after. I’ve used taco seasoning as most brands will be a blend of cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and dried herbs. This saves you the trouble of having to individually add these spices. However, make your choice carefully many brands have sugar as one of the first three ingredients! The best we could find was Masterfoods, where sugar was the 7th ingredient. They all also contain salt. Old El Paso salt-reduced had the lowest salt count but of the “regular” varieties Masterfoods was the lowest.
