Burrito Bowl this recipe


I love this burrito bowl recipe, because it's so versatile! You can add whatever vegetable you have on hand: swap the lettuce for kale or spinach, substitute quinoa or farro for the rice. Make it your own and a regular recipe in your repertoire.

Bonus points, it's gluten-free and soy-free!

Description

I love this burrito bowl recipe, because it's so versatile! You can add whatever vegetable you have on hand: swap the lettuce for kale or spinach, substitute quinoa or farro for the rice. Make it your own and a regular recipe in your repertoire.

Units Scale
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • 1 (15 oz.) can black or pinto beans
  • 1 avocado
  • 1 large zucchini
  • 2 medium carrots
  • 2 cups romaine lettuce, shredded
  • ½ cup salsa
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil

Instructions

  1. Start cooking rice according to package directions.
  2. While rice is cooking, chop vegetables and prepare lettuce and avocado.

    @Summer - Good call on the spicing it up! We usually add fresh salsa as well, but never thought to make my own taco seasoning 🙂

    This recipe was a hit with my very picky 7 year old daughter. She even took it to school the next day for lunch. My husband, son, and I all thought it was a good start but needed a bit more flavor. My husband and son, who love spicy foods, added a ghost pepper salsa to theirs and I added a homemade taco seasoning to mine. This is another recipe I will definitely make again with some more spice.
