Dinner Bowl #82

 

A familiar (sort of) default for days I can't think of other things: Avocado, half a "Walking Tamale" with homemade salsa, refried black beans, and a simple Mexican rice.

The only thing I really properly cooked here was the rice. I made a full batch and popped some in the freezer for later, so some future iteration of me can just grab the frozen rice, open a can of beans, and assemble something with even less effort.

Walking Tamales are weird. This one was the salsa rojas variety. I bought a couple different ones to try, but I was hoping for a filled tamale, not some corn masa infused with random beans. I was disappointed, and I'm unlikely to buy them again, but honestly they aren't bad. They're just absolutely not what I wanted.

As for the rest, it was as expected--perfectly comforting. It's also free of all major allergens, so if you need that--here's an option! Maybe you'll be more excited about Walking Tamales than I am!
