What You Need To Make This Vegan Meal Prep Burrito Bowl

Here's what you need to make this delicious burrito bowl:

  • whole grain rice
  • sweet potatoes
  • red or green bell peppers
  • cooked black beans (or you can start from scratch and cook your own)
  • tomato salsa (see recipe below to make your own)
  • a delicious tahini sauce to add on top

Assembling the meal prep bowl is really easy. The recipe below makes 4 servings - just divide all of the prepared ingredients between 4 bowls or meal prep containers. If you don't have so many meal prep containers, you can store each ingredient individually and then assemble right before you want to eat it.

How You Can Customize This Vegan Burrito Bowl

Here are a few ideas how you can customize this bowl:

  • If you don't like bell peppers, you could also add broccoli or zucchini instead. Bake them in the oven the same way you would with the bell peppers.
  • Instead of rice, you could also make a cauliflower rice for a lighter version, or use quinoa, couscous or bulgur.
  • Why not add some fried sweet corn for some extra flavor and color?
  • Instead of black beans, you could also make a tofu crumble or replace with sunflower seed or TVP (soy protein) taco meat.
