Cheesy Chickpeas go Tex Mex!

I just LOVE it when things come together!! This was a super quickie lunch, using all the ingredients I had leftover from all my cooking today. Bryan loved it, I loved it, and we WILL be making this for lunch tomorrow :)



Cheesy Chickpeas go Tex Mex!
Prep time: 5 minutes
Cook time: 3 minutes
Serves: 1

Ingredients:
1/2 cup brown rice
1/2 cup chickpeas
1 Tablespoon Coconut milk (or any other plant milk- I used this for it's creamy texture)
1 Tablespoon Veganaise (vegan mayonaise)
1 tsp Cilantro
1/4 cup Apple Sage Sausage Crumbles (or other meatless crumble product)
1 Tablespoon salsa
1 Tablespoon Daiya pepper jack vegan cheese
2 slices fresh avocado, for garnish

Directions:
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the rice, chickpeas, coconut milk, crumbles, cilantro, and veganaise. Microwave for 1 - 1/2 minutes, until hot; stir. Add the salsa and cheese on top, microwave for an additional 30 seconds or so, until the cheese is melted. Top with fresh avocado, and dive in!!

Happy eating!
