Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon Oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves minced
  • ¾ cup Quick cooking Oats
  • ½ teaspoon Taco Seasoning refer to Notes
  • ¼ teaspoon Paprika Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Lime Juice
  • 2 cups Water
  • Salt to taste
  • Corn Salsa for topping
  • grated Cheddar for topping
  • Avocado for topping
  • Jalapeno for topping

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pot and add garlic. Cook for 15-30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add oats, taco seasoning, paprika powder, lime juice, water and salt. Mix well and bring everything to a boil. Simmer for a few minutes till the oats are cooked and the mixture has thickened up. This should take 3-4 minutes. Add a little more water to reach consistency that you like.
  • Top with corn, salsa, grated cheddar, avocado and jalapeno. Serve hot.

Notes

  1. You can substitute Taco seasoning with any Mexican flavoured seasoning readily available at supermarkets.
  2. I have topped my meal with my favourites like corn salsa and avocado. You can top it with any condiments like salsa verde, proteins like - grilled chicken or prawns, chipotle dressing, guacamole etc.,
  3. This is a very quick recipe. Do not prepare it and store it for later as oatmeal can very easily become dry and gluggy
