Satisfying.

Nourishing.

Burrito Bowls!

To make this bowl start 1 cup of cooked brown rice in the center of a bowl. Surround with a layer of guacamole.

Cover the guacamole with Raw Walnut Taco "Meat"! Opt to add "refried" beans. We took soaked and boiled beans, added a dash of oil, seasoning and placed it in the food processor for a homemade version. (Props to my hubs!) Then surround the plate with your favorite leafy green, we used amaranth leaves. :0) Opt to top with a heart of Sriracha sauce!

Ingredients:

2 cups of brown rice
1 Batch Guacamole
Raw Walnut Taco "Meat"
Homemade or purchased beans (your fav - whole or blended)
1-2 cups fresh leafy greens
Dash of Sriracha sauce
Sprinkle of red pepper flakes and cilantro.

Directions:

Pre-cook the rice on the stove or in a rice cooker. Place 1 cup each in a bowl for 2 servings.
Create a fresh batch of guacamole, surround the rice. Rinse and whip up some raw walnut taco "meat" and place on top of the guacamole.
Place beans around the base of the rice and fresh greens around the bowl. Serve with a heart of Sriracha on top and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes and cilantro, dig in! Serve as is or with tortillas or chips.
