The Green Ingredient
Located downtown in the Chase building, The Green Ingredient is transforming healthy food into craveable delights. As one of the best places to get a healthy meal in El Paso, The Green Ingredient offers a variety of items from freshly made juices, to warm vegan meals, to tasty baked chicken strips.
Their Taste of El Paso meal pays homage to their Peruvian roots, while offering a meatless, yet flavorful vegan option. The dish, Seco de Champiñones with a side of quinoa and peruvians beans, is hearty and satisfying. Translated, it's mushrooms and potatoes tossed in a cilantro puree and served atop steamed quinoa and a side of mashed peruvian beans. It's slightly spicy, but not overwhelming. The flavors are typical of Peruvian cuisine and are plentiful, but mild. Each bite has enough spice and flavor to last just long enough until you crave another bite. Don't worry, carnivores. You'll find this dish just as satisfying as any meat option. It's that good!
