Veggie burrito bowl

Based on 63 ratings
"A burrito bowl is effectively a deconstructed burrito, and as such, it can have all sorts of components that you’d usually love to roll up into a tortilla. For our bright, filling (and veggie) bowl, we’ve opted for creamy black beans, a quick tomato, corn, and bell pepper salad, guacamole and crispy tortilla chips (in place of a tortilla wrap) served on limey cilantro rice. You can also add some spice and pan-fried ground beef, chicken, or crumbled tofu to your mix. On top, add some cilantro leaves, a dollop of sour cream and your favorite fiery salsa, if you like."
