Looking for a quick vegetarian meal on busy weeknights? The whole family will love this Vegetarian Burrito Bowl, made with corn, black beans, and rice.

We love “meal bowls” at our house. Fill a bowl with protein and veggies, and you can add all sorts of sauces and seasonings to make it delicious. Plus, it’s super easy to whip together in minutes!

Just start with a base and add your favorite burrito-inspired toppings. Totally kid-approved!

If we’re hosting, I love to do a “Burrito Bowl Bar” and set out little bowls of everything for self-serve.

Ingredients for Vegetarian Burrito Bowl:

• 2 cups, quick-cooking rice, dry
• 4 cups, water
• 3 cups, fajita vegetables, cut into strips (use frozen to save time)
• 2 cups, corn
• 2 cups, black beans (can also use pinto beans)
• For topping: sour cream (or Greek yogurt), fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, chopped cilantro, sliced lime

Directions:

1. Cook rice, with water, according to package instructions.
2. Meanwhile, heat up fajita strips (if using frozen), or chop up vegetables if using fresh.
3. Build burrito bowls: add corn, beans, and veggies to rice. Finish off with your choice of toppings. Tip! I like to set out small bowls with toppings like sour cream and guacamole, so you can add table side.

Take this veggie burrito bowl, for instance. Start by cooking up some fluffy rice!

Then, add your protein. We’re going meatless for this dish, so we added beans and lots of vegetables—corn, bell peppers, onions, etc. Top it off with your favorite burrito toppings. We love guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo. The picky eaters of the family can skip the toppings altogether. That’s the best part of this dinner. Make it your own!

Layer up your burrito bowls and enjoy a flavorful, vegetarian dish tonight! Meatless with plenty of flavor. Full of veggies and wholesome ingredients. Yum!
