How to Make the Best Vegan Burrito Bowl!
1️⃣ Prepare the Base
Start with your cooked rice (or quinoa) and fluff it with a fork. Squeeze in some fresh lime juice for extra flavor!
2️⃣ Season the Beans
In a small pan, heat a little oil and sauté the black beans with cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Cook for 3-4 minutes until warm and fragrant.
3️⃣ Assemble the Bowl
Time to build! Add a scoop of rice to each bowl, followed by the seasoned beans, sweet corn, fresh tomatoes, and red onion.
4️⃣ Add the Creamy Touch
Top with avocado slices, a sprinkle of cilantro, and a drizzle of lime juice! For extra indulgence, add some vegan cheese or cashew queso!
5️⃣ Meal Prep Like a Pro!
If you're making this for the week, divide everything into meal prep containers and store in the fridge. Keep the avocado separate and add it fresh before serving!
