As a mama to a teenager and a toddler, I am always on the look out for and coming up with new dinner recipe ideas that are not only delicious, but are also healthier and easy to make to boot. At least once a week, I try to sneak in a completely meatless dinner into my meal plan (although that vegetarian dinner doesn't always happen to fall on a Monday evening ;) ).
Looking to change it up from the usual pancakes for dinner or mac & cheese for that meatless dinner option, I was thrilled to have discovered Boca Essentials in three new bold flavors-
- Breakfast Scramble with potatoes, scrambled eggs and vegetables
- Roasted Vegetables and Red Quinoa with brown rice
- Chile Relleno with green chile peppers, black beans and brown rice
I knew right away that I had to come up with a tasty dinner recipe using the Chile Relleno burgers! We are a family that just loves Mexican food, and chile rellenos happens to be a favorite with all of us. Turning them into stuffed, perfectly flaky empanadas seemed like the natural way to go. These Easy Chile Relleno Empanadas take just 4 ingredients and around 30 minutes to make...
These flavorful empanadas are packed with a ton of the good stuff thanks to the Boca Essentials Chile Relleno burgers- protein, all 9 essential amino acids, and the health benefits of soy.
And the best part? These empanadas are crazy easy to make! :) You can even employ the kiddos to help with making these. They can roll out the biscuit dough and help fill and press the empanadas. A perfect healthy family meal from start to finish...
These flaky pockets filled with chiles, black beans, brown rice, cheese, and diced tomatoes were a huge hit with my family.
All three varieties of the new Boca Essentials can be found at select retailers nationwide in the freezer case. A single, 10-ounce pack contains four patties and retails for around $4.29. Healthy, tasty, and budget friendly! :)
