This Vegan Burrito Bowl is so fresh, spicy, hearty and healthy. This is the perfect vegan bowl. Rich and spicy black beans, rice and fresh veggies topped with a Southwest Dressing.  Cool, crisp, spicy and full of flavor!

Vegan Burrito Bowl

This is HUGE family favorite.  Fresh, bold flavors, lots of protein.  
You will also need to make my Southwest Dressing for these burrito bowls.

Ingredients

Seasoned Black Beans

  • 2 Cans Black Beans
  • 1 Can Golden corn Drained
  • 2 Cups Water
  • 1 Cup Onions - diced
  • 3 Cloves Garlic - minced
  • 1 T Olive oil
  • 1 T Ancho chili powder
  • 2 t Cumin
  • 1 Pinch Salt and Pepper

Veggies

  • 1 Cup Diced grape tomatoes
  • 4 Cups Diced lettuce (iceberg or romaine)
  • 1 Ripe Avocado Cut into small slices

Lime and Cilantro Rice

  • 1 Cup Uncooked brown rice
  • 1 Lime Juiced
  • 1 Cup Chopped cilantro

Toppings

  • 1 Tortilla strips or crunched tortilla chips
  • 2 T Southwest Salad Dressing

Instructions

Seasoned Black Beans

  • Drain and rinse the black beans.
  • Add the oil to a pan and saute the onions and garlic until soft.
  • Add the ancho chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper to the onion mixture and cook for one minutes
  • Add the water, black beans and corn to the pan.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes (or until the water has mostly evaporated).

Lime and cilantro rice

  • Cook rice as instructed either using a pan or a rice maker.
  • Add the lime juice and the cilantro at the beginning of the process.  Cook together until done.

Burrito Bowl

  • Place a scoop of seasoned black beans and the lime/cilantro rice into a serving bowl.
  • Add tomatoes, lettuce and avocado.
  • Put a couple spoonfuls of the Southwest dressing on top.
  • Add tortilla strips for great crunch.

Notes

If you want some added protein and flavor, you can add some Gardein chick'n strips, seasoned with garlic salt and I like to use some Slap Ya Mama seasoning as well.  Just add a little olive oil to a pan and fry the chick'n with the seasoning until golden brown.

     This is a complete meal in a bowl.  Spicy beans, cool veggies, lime/cilantro rice and a creamy southwest                                    dressing on top.  This recipe won’t disappoint and most certainly will impress!!
