DIY Burrito Bowls

September 13, 2017 by David James Di Pardo Leave a Comment

Vegan Burrito BowlThose who know me, know that burrito bowls make a regular rotation in my kitchen. Mostly because they are so easy to prepare and are also great when meal prepping for the week ahead. You can use and combo of toppings but the recipes below are perhaps my favorite rendering.

Vegan Burrito BowlI like to keep the base of my bowls half carbs/grains and half greens. I find this makes for an optimal macro nutrient ratio while still satisfying any carb cravings, and ensuring a health dose of greens. Your grains can range from a more traditional brown rice, to quinoa, or even farro or wheat berries if you don’t have a gluten-intolerance. Top it with your choice of protein and condiments and you’re all set.

They’re great for entertaining or family dinners. I particularly like making them for game night. I can prepare most of the topping and condiments ahead of time and then everyone gets to build their own bowl. Doesn’t that sound like a good time? Wash them down with some margaritas and you’ve got yourself a PAR-TAY! Or skip the drinks and whip up my margarita pie for dessert! Wait… don’t skip the drinks, do both, always both!

DIY Burrito BowlBelow I included a recipe for a ridiculously easy corn and black bean salsa. It’s got 5 ingredients, tastes fresh, and is packed with flavor and nutrients. Try topping your bowl with the tahini lime drizzle in place of sour cream. This is a great alternative to cashew cream, which I rarely make. Because one, I never remember to soak the cashews ahead of time, and two, I hardly every have cashews on hand. They can be quite pricey, especially when you’re buying raw, unsalted, organic cashews… Tahini however, I always have on hand. So try the tahini drizzle, I promise, its so delicious, you won’t miss the sour cream or dairy one bit!

An easy dinner, where everyone can assemble their own bowl. Put out a spread, invite over some friends and make a party of it. Don't forget the margaritas!
