If there is anything you should know about me by now, it’s that I love recipes that are clean, healthy, simple, quick, delicious, and flexible. And that is exactly what Burrito Bowls are. They can be made with a variety of different produce and are a great way to throw together a quick and tasty meal with whatever you have on hand. It’s a versatile recipe that makes it so easy to swap out ingredients based on your likes, dislikes, or needs.
This recipe can easily be adapted to meet the needs of someone who is grain-free or following Whole30. It’s perfect for vegetarians and vegans, as well as omnivores. You could choose to add an animal protein if you like, or enjoy its simplicity as is!
