Servings: 1
This vibrant chipotle veggie bowl is a flavorful and delicious meal! Filled with sautéed peppers, smoky spices, and colorful veggies this meal is perfect for family dinners.
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown rice uncooked
- ¼ cup black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- ½ red bell pepper cut into strips
- ¼ yellow onion cut into strips
- ¼ cup romaine lettuce sliced
Toppings
- 2 tbsp guacamole
- 1 tbsp cashew cream or vegan sour cream
- 1 tbsp salsa
Instructions
- Cook brown rice as directed on packaging.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil, then add chopped bell pepper and chopped onion. Cook until onions are translucent and peppers are soft. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the veggie bowl. Start with brown rice on the bottom, then layer with cooked veggies, lettuce, guacamole, cashew cream, salsa and black beans. Don't be afraid to add more of your favs. Add a fresh squeeze of lime juice before serving.
Notes
- Swap the rice with white rice, cauliflower rice or quinoa.
- Work with the veggies you have on hand. There is no need to buy extra ingredients if you've got some fresh produce at home.
- I love making the components of this bowl and then setting them out buffet-style so everyone can choose what they want in their own bowls.
- If you want a great vegan meat option for this bowl, add some walnut taco meat.
- Additional toppings include fresh tomatoes, hot sauce, chipotle ranch dressing, sliced avocado, chives and cilantro.
