cilantro quinoa burrito bowls

I love Chipotle and their delicious burrito bowls; they’re filling & seriously delicious!  I’m sure there are many variations to this recipe, but the following is by far my favorite! [& Tony helped himself to TWO GIANT bowls!]


Cilantro Quinoa Burrito Bowls

Gather the following ingredients:

For Burrito Bowls
  • 3/4 cups of chopped Romaine lettuce
  • 1 can whole kernel corn (drained)
  • 1 can black beans (drained)
  • 3 medium sized Roma tomatoes, diced
  • 2 avocados, diced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
For Cilantro Quinoa
  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1 medium, red onion, chopped
  • Juice from 2 limes
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 3 tbsp chopped cilantro
For the Chipotle Sauce:
  • 1 cup regular Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons green salsa
  • 1 glove garlic, pressed
  • Juice of 2 limes
  • Sea salt (to taste)

Method:

  1. Make chipotle sauce by whisking together Greek yogurt, green salsa, garlic, lime juice, and sea salt. Refrigerate until serving.
  2. Cook quinoa according to packet directions. Once quinoa is cooked, add in chopped green onion, lime juice, garlic, & cilantro. Mix together in serving bowl to burrito bowls.
  3. To create the fantastic-ness of the burrito bowls, you could divide quinoa into serving bowls, top with lettuce, corn, beans, tomatoes, avocado and cilantro.
  4. Serve immediately and drizzle with chipotle cream sauce. (Tony also added salsa!)
