Skip Chipotle and try these burrito bowls right at home. It’s easier, healthier and 10000x tastier!
I finally made a burrito bowl at home. Well, I guess it’s more of a burrito plate. But still. Burrito bowl, burrito plate – I’m in love.
No, but really, with fresh veggies and just 10 min prep with a creamy chipotle drizzle, what’s not to love?
Plus, this is completely customizable to add in your favorite proteins. Or if you’re like me, you can keep it vegetarian. There’s plenty of goodies to go around here!
And if you really want to go that extra step and make these even healthier, you can use quinoa in place of the rice.
You’ll get that extra kick of protein, and be full for hours on end! So who still wants Chipotle for dinner tonight?
Skip Chipotle and try these burrito bowls right at home. It’s easier, healthier and 10000x tastier!
