Notes
Nutrition
Tomorrow is Meatless Monday for some people. That means a lot of salads and side dishes are going to be eaten as main courses.
However, we decided to share a vegetarian burrito bowl for those who wanted something other than raw, crunchy vegetables.
We even spiced things up a bit by adding our own unique topping to this Tex-Mex inspired dish.
You can top the vegetarian burrito bowl with ranch dressing or Hatch green chile sauce.
Burrito Bowl Meal Prep:
If you’re looking for the perfect meal prep dish, then this is it! All you have to do is prepare the recipe as instructed.
After that, let it cool for about 10-minutes and simply separate it out into six, 1 ½-cup servings.
Store the burrito bowls into individual air-tight containers with lids. They can be placed into your fridge for up to 3-days.
Be sure to store the dressing or sauce in a smaller separate container, as well.
Otherwise, if you dress the bowl before storage, the lettuce may turn soggy.
The only other recommendation I would make is to spritz the diced avocado with extra lime juice to keep it green and fresh during storage.

How do you eat burrito bowls?
Any way you want. Personally, I use a fork but sometimes our son dips tortilla chips into the bowl.
Flour or corn tortillas are also useful for picking up bite-sized portions of the meal.
You could even serve this dish in edible taco salad bowls. Basically, it all comes down to personal preference and taste.
