Avocados are a great source of vitamins C, E, K, and B-6, as well as riboflavin, niacin, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium, and potassium. They also provide lutein, beta-carotene, and omega-3 fatty acids. Avocados are full of healthy, beneficial fats that help to keep you full and satiated. Pinto beans are extremely nutritious. They're an excellent source of protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and also rich in various antioxidants. 

Guacamole with Pinto beans!!

Guacamole is a dip made from ripe avocados and is originally from Mexico. There are so many variations for this recipe. I have already posted the Guacamole recipe here.

Lets give our guacamole a protein boost!!

This recipe is a very easy one, I have just added pressure cooked Pinto Beans into the guacamole to make it more nutritious and filling. 

We can have it as such as a salad or as a dip for tortilla chips, as a sandwich or taco filling. We have it as a side dish for roti this time :) This is also a quick-fix lunch option when we have the cooked beans ready.
