what’s in a veggie burrito bowl chipotle

Firstly we start with a base of rice. You can use white rice or brown rice, that’s your choice. Here I have used low G.I brown rice. Also instead of rice, you can use quinoa, as well as cauliflower rice too. Once the rice is cooked, mix in a handful of chopped cilantro or coriander leaves, a squeeze of lemon juice, along with grated lemon zest. Lemon zest gives a nice flavor and amazing taste to the rice.

Second thing in veggie burrito bowl is the pinto or black bean mixture. For this you need cooked pinto or black beans. Here I have used pinto beans. Mainly chipotle simmers their beans with onion, garlic, and chilli powder. Basically sauté the chopped onion in little oil, then add cooked pinto beans with other ingredients like, onion powder, garlic salt and chilli powder. Mix everything well and add little water. Next using a masher smash the pinto beans to softness.

Next is a mix of fajita veggies. This means grilled bell peppers with red onion, sautéed in a light oil with chilli powder, salt and lemon juice. Stir fry the veggies until they are soft. These crunchy veggies are healthy and even tasty too. Also these veggies looks so colorful, because of the red, green yellow and orange bell peppers.

Furthermore, the next layer in the burrito bowl is salsa. Make your own type of salsa. Here I have prepared corn and tomato salsa. For that just mix the corn and tomatoes separately with chopped red onions, jalapenos, cilantro, salt and lemon juice.

Even more  the next layer is the guacamole. This is very easy to prepare and very tasty dip. For the detailed preparation of guacamole, please check our recipe for How to make Guacamole. Finally sprinkle some vegan cheese and a dollop of vegan sour cream. Serve all these in a bowl and enjoy the veggie burrito bowl.
