I could seriously eat all the burrito bowls! And I, finally, managed to make one at home – I buy a lot of them, so this is a big cost-saver for me.

Here is my super easy vegetarian burrito bowl “recipe”:

Rice

• 1 Cup White or Brown Rice of choice
• 1/2 Juice from a Lime
• Cilantro to taste

Vegetables

• 1 Red or White Onion
• 2 Bell Peppers any colour(s) will do
• 1 Small Zucchini
• Any other veggies you’d like to add!

Beans

• 1 Can Black or Pinto Beans rinsed
• 1 Can/Cob Corn
• 2 Tbsp Tomato Paste
• Taco Seasoning to taste

Toppings

• Lettuce
• Guacamole/Avocado
• Cucumber
• Cilantro
• Cheese
• Anything else your taste buds desire!

INSTRUCTIONS

Rice

1. Prepare as normal, but add lime juice to the water
2. Add chopped cilantro at the end of cooking

Vegetables

1. Lightly sauté in a frying pan – cook to al danté

Beans

1. Combine ingredients and simmer in a frying pan

RECIPE NOTES

Layer or divide in a bowl and nom, nom, nom!

I packed this up for lunch with the rice, beans and veggies in one container and the toppings in a separate one. I then heated up the rice container before adding the toppings.
