If you're like me tacos are a very important food group and Chipotle is likely one of your favorite restaurants. I love Chipotle but I almost feel bad going to eat there when you can make your own healthy alternatives at home, so I give you my Quinoa Burrito Bowl. This meal is so versatile, it can be made meat and dairy free, thrown in a wrap for a burrito, or tossed on lettuce for a salad.
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup of quinoa; cooked
- 1/2 cup of black beans
- 2 Tbsp of taco seasoning
- 2 Tbsp of salsa
- 1 Tbsp of olive oil
- 1/4 cup of peppers and onions
- Taco toppings( I chose lettuce, jalapenos, cheese, tomatoes, avocado)
- Garnish with a squirt of lime and cilantro
Directions:
1. Cook quinoa according to directions. Microwave black beans with taco seasoning. Combine the black beans and quinoa.
2. Add salsa and stir. Sauté peppers and onions over medium heat in olive oil until fragrant and cooked down about 3-5 min.
3. Top mixture with your favorite toppings and peppers and onions.
As you can see this recipe is super versatile. You can add any toppings of your choice. Feel free to add chicken, steak or ground beef instead of black beans or in addition to them. The quinoa adds extra protein to this meal making it super filling. Enjoy a Chipotle-like meal in the comfort of your own home!
