    vegan burrito bowl

    This healthy vegan burrito bowl is an easy weeknight meal that’s full of veggies, grains, and beans.  It can be altered to add any kind of vegetables you desire: sautéed peppers, sautéed mushrooms, roasted corn, or roasted potatoes.  The black beans can even be substituted with vegan oil-free refried beans.  I use Mexican-inspired brown rice to add some more flavor to the dish or try it with Chipotle-inspired cilantro lime brown rice.  Top the dish with mashed avocado and salsa to create a southwest dressing for your burrito bowl.

    To make the dish even quicker for weeknight meals, make the rice ahead of time.  The rice, beans, and corn keep great in the refrigerator for leftovers for the next day.  When you are ready to eat just warm them up, then add the fresh veggies to build the burrito bowl.  Wait on mashing the avocados until you are ready to eat since they don't keep well in the refrigerator.

    To keep black beans oil-free add a splash of water or vegetable broth to the pot if they start to stick.  Canned beans are already cooked so just warm them up and evaporate any liquid.
