Method

  1. Heat cooking oil in a dark non‑stick pan.

  2. Add the cubed white block protein and sauté until golden‑brown.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The protein develops a browned surface.

  3. Add sliced red, yellow, and green bell peppers and sliced onions; sauté until softened.

  4. Add kidney beans and a splash of water to the pan; cook briefly until heated through.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The beans are hot and the splash of water has mostly cooked away.

  5. Heat oil in a separate skillet and sauté the funyadi buns until golden.

  6. Cook the rice according to package instructions, then stir in minced garlic for a smoky flavor.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The rice is tender before the garlic is stirred through. Fold the garlic through while the rice is hot so its aroma spreads through the grains.

  7. Sauté the diced onion, tomato, and green chilli until softened.

  8. Add the black beans, garlic, onion, tomato, and spices; cook until heated through.

  9. Prepare the salsa by mixing diced onion, tomatoes, garlic, green chilli, coriander, salt, red chilli powder, and lemon juice in a bowl.

  10. Whisk the creamy white dip (hunkar dip) in a bowl until smooth.

  11. Combine the cooked rice, bean mixture, and salsa in a bowl.

  12. Top with sautéed protein and vegetables, shredded lettuce, crushed nachos, sliced avocado, and a dollop of the whipped dip.

    Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The toppings remain distinct over the rice and beans.

  13. Serve immediately for a fresh, high‑protein lunch.
