This is a chipotle inspired vegan burrito bowl that is bursting with spices and flavour. Each bowl is packed with the health benefits that come with red kidney beans, corn, brown rice, pico de gallo and Guacamole. They’re extremely healthy and satisfying. I love this burrito bowl as it is so tasty and is basically everything that you would put in a burrito, just without the wrap.
The bowl makes for a wonderful dinner and can be assembled pretty easily. Not only are they bursting with colour, they are also packed with delicious Mexican flavours, a bit of heat and loads of nutrition. Fibre-rich brown rice, protein from tofu and beans and healthy fats from the avocado – the gang is all here!
