Make Dinner with Me: Vegan Burrito Bowls

Join me and my family for a fun new video series called, “Make Dinner with Me” where I trade in my usual video format for a more candid look at some of our favorite kid-friendly vegan dinner recipes. First up are Vegan Burrito Bowls that we make with quinoa, roasted veggies, beans, cashew cheese, salsa, and guacamole. Enjoy the craziness!



RECIPE:
"Vegan Burrito Bowls”

Ingredients:
  • 1 red onion
  • 1 organic red pepper
  • 1 organic green pepper
  • 1- pkg. Large portobello mushrooms
  • 1 cup dry organic quinoa (http://go.magik.ly/ml/1ax/)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 can organic black beans
  • 1 can organic corn
  • 1 bag organic tortilla chips
  • 1 jar of your favorite salsa
  • Guacamole
  • Cilantro
  • Spices for veggies: cumin, chili powder, salt
Steps:
  1. Add 1 cup quinoa and 2 cups of water to a rice cooker (here’s the one I use) and cook until done, keep on warm until ready to serve.
  2. Chop and saute all the peppers and onion on Medium heat for 5 minutes, then add the mushrooms and cook for another 3-5 minutes until the water releases. Then season with a pinch of cumin, a few shakes of chili powder, and salt to taste then set aside.
  3. Drain and pour the cans of beans and corn into separate sauce pans and put on Medium Low so they can warm (add salt if needed).
  4. Put salsa, guacamole, cashew cheese, and chopped cilantro in separate bowls to create an assembly line with the other ingredients.
  5. Now go through the “burrito bowl assembly line” and serve up with the quinoa, roasted veggies, beans, corn, salsa, guacamole, cashew cheese, and cilantro...oh and don’t forget the tortilla chips for dipping!
