Mexican Vegetarian Burrito Bowl Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Mexican Vegetarian Burrito Bowl, you need to prepare the various components first

Step 2: For the coriander-lime rice, to the cooked rice, add the chopped coriander, lime juice, black pepper and salt

Step 3: Toss the mix together till all the flavors are well combined

Step 4: For the spicy beans, place a pan on heat, add some oil to it and allow it to get warm

Step 5: Add the onion, garlic and sauté it for 1-2 minutes until the onions are softened

Step 6: Then add tomato puree and cook for 5-10 minutes on a medium heat

Step 7: When the mix begins to bubble, add the cooked kidney beans/rajma along with the water that was used for cooking it

Step 8: Stir well

Step 9: Add Chipotle chilli along with Adobo sauce, crushed cumin and salt

Step 10: If using red chilli flakes instead, add it now

Step 11: Mix it all up well and cook to make a thick sauce

Step 12: This may take 5-7 minutes

Step 13: Turn off the heat and keep it aside

Step 14: For the sautéed peppers/vegetables, place a pan on heat, add some oil to it and allow it to get warm

Step 15: Once done add all the chopped peppers (or any other vegetables that you may like) along with the garlic

Step 16: Sprinkle salt and sauté for 1-2 minutes

Step 17: Then, add chilli flakes and oregano, toss together and turn off the heat

Step 18: Keep aside till ready to use

Step 19: For the roasted corn salsa, char the corn on the stove top or in a preheated oven

Step 20: Take the kernels off the cob and put it in a bowl

Step 21: Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly

Step 22: Keep aside until later use

Step 23: For the guacamole, prepare the Avocado guacamole but remember that guacamole needs to be eaten fresh, so this is one component that has to be made last, or just before assembling and serving the burrito bowl

Step 24: To assemble the burrito bowl, if you are preparing one big bowl for your guests, use a fairly deep 8-9” flat bottom bowl or serving dish

Step 25: A burrito bowl is essentially layered, so begin with the coriander-lime rice

Step 26: Spread it generously at the base of the bowl

Step 27: Over it, spoon the spicy beans and spread it around the rice

Step 28: Next, layer the sauteed peppers over the beans

Step 29: On top of that goes a layer of guacamole

Step 30: Spread some corn salsa over it, and top it with the lettuce (if using), cheese and black olives and serve

Step 31: If you are making individual burrito bowls for a smaller crowd, follow the same sequence of layers, but use smaller sized ramekins for serving

Step 32: To make a Burrito Bar, simply place all the prepared components on convenient location

Step 33: Give your guests individual bowls and allow them to choose their favorite toppings to assemble the bowls of their choice

Step 34: To serve it as a warm winter casserole, once assembled, bake the bowl in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 15 minutes and serve hot with baked Tortilla chips

Step 35: Serve the Mexican Vegetarian Burrito Bowl for a wholesome dinner followed by a dessert of Apple Enchiladas
