Vegan Black Bean and Corn Burrito Bowl

Jump to recipe ↓

The original bowl begins with cooked black beans and canned corn, not the rice and roasted vegetables used in the earlier broad workbook. Add a sliced avocado, tomato and chopped red onion to the beans while they are cool. Lime juice and zest brighten everything, with ground coriander and parsley for seasoning. The source suggests beet sauce or guacamole as an optional finish; choose a plant-based version if keeping the bowl vegan. Because avocado browns and dressed tomatoes release juice, assemble close to serving. This is a quick cold lunch or light dinner, with more beans available if you want a larger meal.
