Burrito Bowl

Introduction

Burrito and burrito-like bowls are staples at our place. You can add whatever you'd like or have in the fridge – I find these are great for using up veggie scraps or leftover bits and pieces of food! Here's how I usually make mine:

Ingredients

• ½ cup cooked quinoa or rice
• ½ chopped tomato
• ½ chopped red onion
• 1 cup chopped spinach or kale
• 1 tbsp pumpkin or sunflower seeds
• ½ cup broccoli or cabbage
• 1 cup cooked chickpeas or black beans or chopped tempeh

Fajita Seasoning Mix

• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp black pepper
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp turmeric powder

Instructions

1. Prepare the seasoned legumes:

   • Heat a bit of oil in a pan
   • Add the fajita spices and cook until aromatic
   • Add your choice of legumes (chickpeas/black beans/tempeh)
   • Add a bit of water and cook until the seasoning is absorbed

2. If using broccoli or cabbage, cook them with the legumes for better digestibility.

3. Assemble your bowl:

   • Start with the quinoa or rice base
   • Add your fresh vegetables
   • Top with the seasoned legumes
   • Sprinkle with seeds
   • Add Frank's red hot sauce and additional spices to taste
