I love this easy-peasy one pot meal.  It is great simply served in a bowl with sliced avocado and dash of lime juice, or as a topping for baked sweet potatoes or as a different topping for nachos with some dairy free “cheesy” sauce.  When the weather turn cold, my kids like to find this in their thermos bowls at lunch time with some tortilla chips and those single serving packets of guacamole.
