Quick and easy, yet delicious meals are my favorites! I love when I can put together a meal in under a half of an hour, and this vegetarian burrito bowl is a go to quick meal that packs tons of delicious flavor!
The beauty of burrito bowls is you can add just about anything you like and each person can customize their own bowl to their liking. Kids don’t like bell peppers? No problem…more for Mom and Dad! If kids want to add cheese or more rice, then they are able to do so! This meal is so easy and a family favorite.
Two essential ingredients of the vegetable burrito bowl are Green Mountain Gringo® Medium Salsa and Green Mountain Gringo® Original Tortilla Strips. The bowl is good on its own, but the additional of these two ingredients will make this meal a guaranteed win for everyone.
Natural Grocers carries the Green Mountain Gringo® brand, and that is where I found them! You can also use the product locator to find them near you.
The flavor of Green Mountain Gringo® Salsa is just incredible. They use high quality ingredients to make products that are healthy and taste great. And the tortilla strips are fantastic for dipping, layering, and scooping. I personally prefer their rectangle shape to triangles and circles!
Which brings me to a great place to point out that you can use a fork or spoon for eating these delicious burrito bowls, but I have found that using a Green Mountain Gringo® Original Tortilla Strip to scoop up the ingredients is not only fun, but super delicious, too!!
The Green Mountain Gringo® brand has products with clean ingredient labels. I love that this company challenges shoppers to expect clean, high quality ingredients and to “Check Out Our Backside.” This makes me feel good about the delicious products I am eating!
Plus this salsa is incredible…did I mention that already?
I started my bowl with a bed of my favorite homemade Mexican rice, but you can add your favorite rice, I won’t judge. Then, add in your favorite toppings, like chopped lettuce and tomatoes, sautéed yellow bell peppers, black beans, guacamole, and top it all off with Green Mountain Gringo® Medium Salsa and tortilla strips. YUM.
Everyone will be thrilled when it’s Taco Tuesday…or Vegetarian Burrito Bowl Day….any day of the week! Check the Green Mountain Gringo® store locator!
