Cauliflower Black Bean Pink Rice Burrito Bowl

2

MOVE OVER Chipotle. We have a new contender with this gorgeous fresh and new burrito bowl. I have been lucky enough to try Sakara Life’s delivery service a few times and really enjoy their vegan dishes. When they posted this meal on their social media, I was compelled to try and replicate it. It’s mostly for the pink rice. I’ve had theirs so many times and really love the way it pops on your plate and in your mouth.

Ingredients:

All the healthy stuff in this bowl. You don’t need to make this with purple cauliflower, but it does look so pretty. I get mine at Whole Foods, they usually have it in stock. The spinach with toasted sesame seeds is delicious and super quick to throw together. The cucumber salad was tossed together so quick I didn’t get a chance to record the measurements. The beauty of cooking is to taste and adjust to your palate and preference.

This chipotle ranch sauce is the cherry on top for this dish. You can make it with vegan ingredients to keep this dish vEGAN. Or you can sub in sour cream for the yogurt. You might need to add in some water to thin out the sauce – mine was thick. Add in 1 tablespoon at a time, mix and then adjust again if needed.

Thank you for swinging by HungryHappens! If you decide to make this dish or any other from our site, we would greatly appreciate you taking the time to comment and rate! LOVE YOUR LIFE!
