  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 yellow onions
  • 1 jalapenos

Instructions

Prep

  • These do not count towards the total time for this meal, because hopefully you are cooking this part of a larger meal plan. Make sure you have naan, pinto beans (or other bean that holds it shape) and yuba bacon (if using).
    1 cup pinto beans, 4 pieces naan, 8 pieces yuba bacon

Cooking and Assembly

  • To a large skillet or sauté pan, add the 1 tbsp canola oil and heat over medium. Then add the yellow onions and jalapenos and fry until they develop some color and are well-softened.

  • Remove the onion mix while preserving the oil in the pan as much as possible. Once removed, add the sausages. Cover and cook for a few minutes. Remove the cover and turn. Adjust heat. You want the sides to develop some light color over 5 minutes per side. Continue to rotate and adjust heat so they sausages crisp up and cook. Check internal temperature so it reaches at least 165°F.

  • Assemble by placing each naan on a plate and topping with the sausage, ¼ cup of beans, 1 tbsp or so of green chilies, and some of the cooked jalapenos and onions. You can add a small amount of mayonaise or a light mustard. A little cheese would be fine too.
