Ingredients
Base
- 4 cups kale or romaine (optional)
- 4 cups cooked rice or quinoa
Protein & Veggies
- 1 batch walnut taco meat (prepared separately)
- 2 cups roasted sweet potatoes
- 1 ½ cups cooked black beans
- 1 ½ cups cooked corn
- ½ cup diced red onion
Toppings and Dressings
- Cilantro Lime Dressing
- Pico de gallo
- Sliced avocado
- Vegan queso
- Lime crema
Instructions
- Assemble the base: In four individual bowls or meal prep containers, add about 1 cup each of your chosen greens (kale or romaine) and cooked rice or quinoa to create the base layer of your burrito bowl.
- Add protein and veggies: Evenly divide the walnut taco meat, roasted sweet potatoes, cooked black beans, cooked corn, and diced red onion among the four bowls, layering them evenly for a balanced mix of flavors and textures.
- Top and serve: Serve the bowls immediately by topping each with fresh pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and your choice of cilantro lime dressing or vegan queso. For extra creaminess, add lime crema if desired.
- Meal prep tip: If preparing the bowls ahead of time for the week, reserve the avocado and any sauces or dressings to add on the day you eat. If using kale, you can add some dressing to the bottom of the container so the kale soaks up flavor and stays fresh.
Notes
- Walnut taco meat can be prepared in advance or purchased pre-made for convenience.
- Choose between kale or romaine depending on your texture and taste preference; kale provides a heartier leaf while romaine is milder.
- Roast sweet potatoes in advance to save time on assembly day.
- Add avocado and dressings just before serving to keep ingredients fresh and prevent sogginess.
- This bowl is easily customizable with additional veggies or toppings like jalapeños, corn salsa, or olives.
