Vegan Tex-Mex Loaded Baked Potato

picsart_06-26-07.16.15.jpgI love a baked potato... seriously, who doesn't. When you combine it with healthy ingredients, it makes it a meal upon itself.

I am a fan of spicy food, so this baked potato has a little spice to it from the pico de gallo. I've also added black beans for a little protein.

I recently learned that you can make baked potatoes in the crockpot, they turn out just like the oven baked ones... so no heating up the kitchen!

The cheese sauce is from the Forks Over Knives cookbook.  It is... oh, so good... I could just eat it plain with a spoon,

  3. This looks so good! And easy to make on a weekend when I'm rushing around. I'm all into TexMex foods right now so it's right up my alley. :)

    I found your blog from Annmarie & Deborah's Meatless Monday Linkups. I actually co-host a Healthy Vegan Fridays linkup and we'd love to have you come join us as well if you ever have some vegan food you'd like to share. :)

  4. I so rarely eat potatoes because I feel like I have no idea what to do with them. This is a fantastic idea!

  6. I have been making baked potatoes in a crockpot for many years -- it's really easy.

    I'm not sure how I'd love a savory potato like that but I need to try it sometime!

  13. I really love baked sweet potatoes. For the longest time, I just had them plain as a side. But I love how you creatively make a meal out of them by loading them up with great proteins! I can't wait to try this. Yum!
