It is incredible how “smart” your ancestors were when it came to preparing and eating foods properly.

Because grains and legumes have differing amino acid profiles (where one is strong in the amino acids that the other group lacks) it is important to eat them together and with a meat to get the entire spectrum of amino acids so you can properly utilize them.

Sure enough that’s exactly how most traditional Mexican dishes are prepared (beans, corn tortilla, beef/chicken/pork). I’m sure this is common in other cultures as well.

Not to mention that the Aztecs understood the process of nixtimalizing of corn.

BUT! This is too much complication for me so I personally would just cook a ribeye steak instead.
