Looking for some inspiration.

Black bean burritos. I cook the beans with onions and tomato paste and broth. Serve on tortillas with cheese, lettuce, and plain Greek yogurt or sour cream. One kid likes guac, the other likes salsa.

Koshary. An Egyptian dish. Layers of rice, chickpeas, lentils, and a pasta if you want. Cover with a super-spicy tomato sauce (we do low heat for DS). And garnish with fried onion slices fried black, with salt.

"Taco rice." I cook rice but toss in about half of a taco seasoning packet. I separately steam some frozen corn in the microwave, and a can of black beans. Then I mix it all together and sprinkle some cheese on top, which melts. My boys love it.

Pasta with pesto and veggies

Mexican layer dip - can of fat-free refried beans, guacamole, salsa, diced tomatoes and low-fat shredded cheese. Eats it with a spoon but you can also serve it with tortilla chips.

PB&J

Breakfast for dinner - cereal or waffles with a side of fruit

Scrambled Eggs

Tofu (I dunno why, both my kids love the stuff. Even cold and plain.)

Chipotle-style bean bowls or tacos

Burgers

Beans, especially pintos or black beans.

Bean pasta ("Explore Asian" is one brand or another they sell at moms -- it's 100% beans but amazingly similar texture to regular pasta!)

Falafel

Mezze -- main protein sources are hummus and a pan-fried halloumi cheese

This sounds very similar to my stuffed pepper recipe, except I use some mild salsa instead of taco seasoning. I roast the peppers (red) a little first then stuff them. It's really good, if your kids like red pepper.
