15 minute Quinoa Burrito Bowls
 

I love a good burrito bowl. I used to go to Chipotle and order them all the time. After I moved to Florida, I can’t seem to find one that’s close to me (insert sad face). So I decided to make my own version of a burrito bowl using Quinoa!

If you’ve been following my blog, you may already know that I have a love for Quinoa.

Quinoa is so versatile and can be used in so many dishes. It also works great as a rice substitute, and is much healthier then rice. It’s packed full of protein and nutrition.

My favorite brand of Quinoa is Ancient Harvest. I love it because it’s Organic and there is no rinsing required!

After I took these pretty pictures above, I decided to do a little experiment with this recipe. I put everything back in the pot except the avocado and lettuce. Then I mixed everything together.

Isn’t this a beautiful mess?! 🙂

Actually I like this better, you can even make this ahead of time and bring the leftovers to work or to the beach, or wherever you may go. It’s great cold or reheated!

    This looks awesome. I also love quinoa, but how do you get it to cook so quickly? It usually takes me an hour, and I have to add 1 part quinoa, and 3 parts liquid for it to completely cook. I also love Yummly. Thanks for your great ideas. I own a vineyard in Texas, and am a winemaker, so I decide on a bottle of wine, and then look for what to pair with it. You give me great ideas. This burrito bowl will go well with a Sauvignon Blanc.

      Hey Tom, I use Ancient Harvest Quinoa Brand (I just updated my recipe to note this, thank you for bringing this up). I like this brand because it cooks fast and there’s no rinsing required. I love your wine pairing ideas for this dish!! 🙂

    […] Normally you would find these ingredients in some sort of Mexican dish like these nachos or these burrito bowls that I made recently. Well since I’ve been on such a kick making chicken in a skillet […]
