Ingredients:
2 cups of your choice of protein (chicken, tofu, or beans)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup of vegetables (carrots, bell peppers, or zucchini work great)
1 can diced tomatoes (14.5 oz)
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley (optional)
Cooked rice or pasta, for serving
Instructions:
Prepare your ingredients: Start by chopping the vegetables and protein of your choice into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic and chop the onion finely.
Sauté the base: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until softened, about 3-5 minutes.
Cook the protein: Add your chosen protein to the skillet. Cook it thoroughly, turning occasionally to ensure even browning and cooking.
Add the vegetables: Toss in your chopped vegetables and stir them in with the protein. Let them cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to combine.
Season the dish: Stir in the cumin, paprika, salt, and pepper. Then add the diced tomatoes along with their juices. Stir everything together, reduce the heat, and simmer for another 10 minutes. If you want a richer flavor, let it cook longer.
Finish: Taste the dish and adjust seasoning if necessary. Once the flavors have melded together and the protein and vegetables are cooked through, remove from heat.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: Serve the dish on a bed of rice, pasta, or alongside a fresh salad. Garnish with fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley for an added burst of flavor.
Storage: This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
