These paneer frankies are my go to when I want something delicious but don't have much time in the kitchen. In just 20 minutes total, you'll have a satisfying meal that's both budget friendly and packed with flavor. The paneer gives you a fantastic protein boost while staying lighter than meat, and the aromatic spice blends create an incredible depth that tastes way more complicated than it actually is. With simple sautéed vegetables, crumbly paneer, and fresh lettuce wrapped up in soft tortillas, this is the kind of quick weeknight dinner that feels a bit fancy without any fuss. Trust me, once you make these, they'll become a regular in your rotation.

Instructions
- 1
Bring the oil to medium-high heat in a wok or sauté pan and fry the onion for 5 minutes, or until turning golden. Mix in the green pepper and cook for 5 minutes more. Add the turmeric, vadouvan spice blend, deggi mirch and tomato purée, then stir over a low heat for 3-5 minutes to cook out the spices.
- 2
Add the paneer and stir through until evenly coated in the spices and other ingredients. Off the heat, mix in the coriander, chaat masala and salt, to taste.
- 3
Warm a wrap according to pack instructions, to make it more pliable. Place on a sheet of foil or baking parchment, if liked (this helps them to stay tightly rolled if serving later). Place 2 lettuce leaves in the middle, facing each other. Cover the lettuce with 1/2 the paneer filling. Fold in the narrow edges, while using the longer edges to roll the filling into place, as you would a wrap.

Seal with the foil or paper and cut in ½, to serve. If you’re serving these later, pop them into a sealable tub to keep them from drying out. These can be made up to 4 hours ahead.

Quinoa is one of my favorite ingredients since it's a complete protein with all nine essential amino acids, making it so satisfying and perfect for keeping energy levels steady. The combination of papaya, red bell pepper, and fresh cilantro brings vibrant flavors and colors, while the rice wine vinegar and orange zest add just the right brightness. Best part is the ingredient list is simple and affordable, yet feels fancy enough to impress anyone at your table.
Beergarita
My go to drink for summer gatherings is this refreshing Beergarita, and let me tell you, it's a total crowd pleaser.

Lime juice is packed with vitamin C, which is great for your immune system, and the whole thing takes just five minutes to throw together. Best part? It's incredibly budget friendly since you're probably already stocking most of these ingredients anyway.
