Burrito Bowls

09/26/2017

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

This post was sponsored by S&W Beans and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.  Test out this recipe for burrito bowls for a hearty back to school dinner solution.

burrito bowls
This season has brought on many new changes and challenges.  For the first time in 5 years I have a full-time job to wake up to.  For the first time ever both kiddos are in school all day.  While I miss those kiddos like crazy it feels amazing to have normalized work hours.  Sometimes though that means dinner is a rush to get on the table after school.  That’s when I turn to pantry staples like, S&W Beans.  They make putting healthier food options on the table easy and convenient.

vegetarian burrito bowls
Another big change as of recent is my husband is sticking to a mostly vegan diet.  There’s nothing that throws a wrench into the dinner menu than one person on a restricted diet.  The positive outlook is one kiddo was already a selective vegetarian and the oldest and myself have a moderate dairy sensitivity.  I know everyone can always agree on any dish with beans.  S&W Beans look great and taste great, and are an easy way to pack in the protein for a filling meal.

We’ve been testing out old favorites with a spin, and the first up was a classic taco salad, we like to call burrito bowls.  Think less salad and more of the good stuff, the toppings!  It’s an easy go-to recipe in a pinch and tastes great packed away for lunch the next day.  Just pile the ingredients in a mason jar; softer and wetter ingredients on the bottom topped with lettuce.  Pack in your favorite dressing or salsa on the side for a tasty mid-day meal.

We tend to toss whatever we have in the pantry or freezer or can grab fresh at the store.  This time we enjoyed a sweet and savory with a hint of spice burrito bowl.  Everything from the rice and bean mixture to the roasted sweet potato can be prepared ahead of time and assembled at mealtime.  This made for a simple and hearty after school dinner.

burrito bowl fixings

Prep your rice mixture and sweet potatoes ahead of time. Add green chilies, garlic salt, and onion powder to a mixture of rice and S&W black beans.

Season cubed sweet potatoes and roast in the oven until golden.

Place a layer of romaine or your favorite green skin the bottom of a deep bowl. Scoop spoonfuls of rice and beans, sweet potatoes, and corn on top.

Finish with fresh slices of avocado or a dollop of guacamole. Personally I enjoy mine with a spoonful of medium salsa and a sprinkle of sharp cheddar.
