Easy Black Bean Burrito Bowl
A fresh and filling bowl that brings all your favorite burrito flavors together in one easy meal.
recipesbynani.comThere is something so satisfying about a burrito bowl where you can scoop up all those delicious toppings in every single bite. This version uses savory black beans and zesty cilantro lime rice for a base that is light yet very filling.
My favorite thing about this recipe is how customizable it is for the family. You can set out the toppings and let everyone build their own bowl just the way they like it.
