How to Make a Veggie Burrito Bowl

To make this homemade vegetarian burrito bowl recipe, simply:

  1. Make the flavor base: Heat the broth, salsa, and spices in a pot.
  2. Add the grains: Stir in the rice and simmer.
  3. Add the veggies: Stir in the black beans and corn.
  4. Garnish and serve: For even more flavor, top the burrito bowls with cheese, fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and sour cream.

That’s it! πŸ™‚

Tips for Making Vegetarian Burrito Bowls

Here are a couple of pointers for making these veggie burrito bowls:

  • To keep this recipe vegan and completely plant-based, do not top with your bowls with cheese and sour cream. However, feel free to use your favorite vegan alternatives instead!
  • If you are going to use cheese, don’t buy pre-shredded cheese! You can save a ton of money by grating a brick of cheese yourself. Pre-shredded cheese also contains additives that prevent the cheese from sticking together in the bag. So if you grate the cheese yourself, it will melt better too.
