SIMPLE BURRITO BOWL | fresh & delish

I am not going to beat around the bush here. I love Mexican food. It’s so fresh, simple, easy to prepare and most importantly: DELISH.

Here is one of my new favourite dinners to make lately. At first sight it does look like it has loads of elements to it, but, take it from a lazy cook: it is SO darn easy. The perfect meal to fool unexpected dinner guests 😉

I also love taking any dish, simplifying the heck out of it, and creating a totally plant-based, whole food version that is just as yummy with the added bonus of making you feel amazing!

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Please leave a comment below and share it with your busy friends who need a simple, healthy meal to have on repeat at home.
