Rice, Tortillas & Avocado

Spiced Rice, Tortillas & Avocados
Vegan Meals Under $10 for 4 people
Time it takes to make - Approximately 30 minutes

RICE
Saute in a deep Pan -
- 1 yellow onion $.50
- 1 garlic clove $.25
- 1 shredded carrot $.50
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- 1/2 tsp. paprika

Once onion has browned just a little - ADD
- 2 cups Parboiled Goya Rice $2 (a bag with about 4 cups is around $3.99)
(Parboiled rice is a little more firm and great to cook when mixed with Veggies because it stays more together and makes for nice consistency when mixed with chopped carrots or peas) 
- 4 cups water

Cook at Medium to Low heat until all water has evaporated and rice is soft.

TORTILLAS

So... you can either buy a pack of Corn Tortillas - Will run you about $1.99 or you can make your own tortillas out of MASECA (a mix you can buy at grocery stores in Bushwick in the latin products section or at most latin bodegas in NYC) they are around $3.99 and will make soooooo many tortillas!

ON THE SIDE -
- 4 Avocados $4 (usually around $1 each)
I prefer the Hass Avocados, they are a little bit creamier than the Florida ones but if you prefer a lighter avocado then you may like the Florida ones better.
