Tex Mex Polenta Bowl

Jump to recipe

Creamy polenta topped with seasoned veggies, black beans, pico de gallo, and all the toppings that the whole family will love.

I’ve always been a fan of fusion meals and this dish is no exception.  When the hubs and I first got married, the show The Kitchen had recently launched on Food Network.  We became instant fans because of how easy it was to connect with the recipes and content on the show.  During covid lockdown, the girls started watching it with us and became fans as well.  My oldest, Sanaya saw Jeff Mauro’s recipe for a 4 cheese polenta and decided she wanted to try it.  The polenta in this recipe is a variation of his original recipe.

As to the Tex Mex toppings, those just popped into my brain as I was trying to figure out what I wanted for toppings.  I started out with avocado for protein and the ball just started rolling from there.  The taco seasoning on the veggies adds beautiful, earthy flavor to the bowl while the pico brightens the bowl.  I also chose to add on radishes, green chilies, and cilantro for my toppings but there are no limits.  You can add a squeeze of lime, some lettuce, olives, or even some corn.  I love the versatility of this bowl.
