High Protein Tasty Vegan Burrito Bowl
This recipe isn't rocket science. I am a BIG carbohydrate fan and recently had all the makin's for burritos with no tortillas in the house. The trick to a burrito bowl is to make sure it is tasty enough to satisfy you without the tortilla. Here's what I did, feel free to substitute, we've all had plenty burritos to know what goes in 'em!
Black beans, cooked or cannedNutritional yeast flakes
Rice, cooked
Tomatoes or salsa
Onions, grilled
A lil kick--sriracha sauce, hot peppers, if needed
Chopped cilantro or lettuce Mash the beans (I use a potato masher) and add about a quarter of the amount of nutritional yeast flakes and stir to mix (e.g. 0.5 c. for 2 c. beans--or to taste). This will lend a cheesy taste to the beans and add amino acids (protein) and vitamin B12. If you like, you can also add more flavor to the beans with a lil garlic or cumin. To assemble the bowl, add approx 0.5 c. each rice and beans (warm if needed), and add the other ingredients on top. Enjoy with a beer as I did ;)
