There are several eating establishments that serve burrito bowls that are very good. But sometimes you just want to stay home and enjoy a good meal so I want to share my delicious and filling vegan burrito bowl recipe with you.
It only takes about 30 minutes to make. Loaded with protein this bowl is very filling. While cooking the brown rice chop the tomatoes, onion, and cilantro. Then saute the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes. Add the cilantro, tomatoes, and black beans and simmer on low for several minutes to soften the tomatoes. Coat the minced walnuts with the spices.
Add lime juice and chopped cilantro to rice and stir. Build your burrito bowl by putting the rice in first. Then add the black bean sauce, some chopped romaine lettuce, and the spicy walnuts. Lastly top with sliced avocados, my spicy avocado vinaigrette, and salsa.
