You can't sound unhappy when you say "Mexibeans!" This is one of the lunch or dinner meals which Beau and I meal prep and eat sometimes during a regular week. We really love food that has a bit of spice to it because we find it more interesting to eat. These can store really well in the fridge for a few days (provided you make it all and then add the avocado separately just before you're about to eat it).
