I absolutely love this meal. It's so tasty, full of protein, and high in fibre, yet it feels like a takeaway/treat dish 😋 Even the hubby loved this when I made it. No moaning of where is the meat 😂 it was all in the flavours!

All you need is a tin of black beans, veggies of your choice, spices and tomato paste. Even the tortillas can be of your choice, so they can be white, corn, wheat, or gluten-free varieties. I added cheese to mine, which also helps seal the tortillas together when toasting or grilling. Serve with guacamole and salsa and enjoy 😋

Toffee Crisps Treats made healthy, guilt free and indulgent 😋

Makes 10 bars

Ingredients for base:
12 large medjool dates - pitted
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter (120g) or alternative nut butter
1.5 cups puffed quinoa (40g)

Topping:

125g dark chocolate

Method:

1) Toast the puffed quinoa for 5 mins in the oven at 180C/350F, so it's crispy. Don't miss this bit out.

2) Add the dates and peanut butter to a food processor and blend until smooth. Add 1-2 tbspbof water as you blend if needed. Just be mindful, you do not want the mix to be too wet as it will make the quinoa soggy.

3) Add in the quinoa and pulse to mix well. Shape into mini rectangular bars. Then refrigerate for 1 hour.

4) After 1 hour, melt the chocolate and dip each of the bars and then place back in the fridge to set.

Finally - enjoy 😋
