Chef’s Tips:
- This bowl is a great vegetarian meal. Bulk it up with bread or tortillas, or take it in a different direction by adding grilled chicken or fish.
- Mix and match your favorite ingredients into a burrito bowl. Include rice, quinoa, or couscous, beans or another lean protein, salsa, slaw, fresh veggies, and baked potatoes or sweet potatoes.
- This is a great way to use up leftovers or to create a family-style platter where everyone can make their own bowl.
