Vegan Burrito Bowls
Here's a recipe that is fast, fresh, and filling. Perfect for those hot summer days when you don't want to turn on the oven and/or eat something warm.
Ingredients:
-
1 cup Uncooked brown rice
Seasoned black beans
-
1 small Onion, diced
-
3 tbsp. Olive oil
-
2 cans Black beans, drained and rinsed
-
2 tbsp. Chili powder
-
3 tsp. Cumin
-
1 tsp. Paprika
-
½ tsp. Garlic powder
-
½ tsp. Onion powder
Lime Marinated Kale
-
1 bunch Curly kale
-
1 Lime, juiced (or ¼ cup lime juice)
-
2 tbsp. Olive oil
-
½ Jalapeño, seeded and finely chopped
-
½ tsp. Cumin
-
¼ tsp. Salt
Lime Onions
-
1 Red onion, sliced thinly
-
1 tbsp. Lime juice
Garnish
-
Tomatoes, diced
-
Avocado, diced
Directions:
-
Mix 1 cup brown rice with 2 cups water and bring to a bowl. Once boiling reduce heat to low, cover and let sit for 35 min. Remove from heat and let sit for 5 min. Fluff with fork.
-
While the rice is cooking, prep your other ingredients. Start with the seasoned black beans. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the diced onion and simmer for 15-20min being careful not to burn the onion. We want to caramelize the onion.
-
While the onion caramelizes, prep the lime marinated kale. Rip off all the leaves from the kale stems in small pieces into a large bowl. In a small bowl whisk together the remaining lime marinated kale ingredients and massage the marinade into the kale, this will soften the kale.
-
Next, prepare the lime onions. Add the 1 tbsp. lime juice to the red onion and massage the red onion by squeezing the pieces to soften them.
-
Add the black beans and seasoned black bean spices to the pan of onions and fry until beans heat up ~2min
-
Prepare your burrito bowl. Garnish with diced tomatoes and avocado.
-
Enjoy! :)
