    Another simple weeknight dinner coming at you. These bowls are super satisfying. Filled with veggies, warm chickpeas, refried beans and topped with my favorite Jalapeño Cilantro Sauce.

    There is nothing better than a warm bowl of good stuff. This is one of those dinners that you will want to eat again and again. You can also swap out the veggies depending on what you have on hand. Or even use up any cooked veggies you have leftover.

    There is a lot of wiggle room with this recipe.

    Can you meal prep these Brown Rice Chickpea Taco Bowls?

    Yep. You totally can meal prep these chickpea taco bowls! It is actually the perfect meal prepped lunch. Make everything on Sunday, separate it out and eat it all week long. I prefer to keep the hot and cold ingredients separated and then combine them once I am ready to eat. No one wants a soggy slaw.

    No matter when or how you eat this, you will not be disappointed.

      This looks deliscious! Can you suggest something other than the Jalapena Cilantro sauce that I could substitute for this recipe? I am allergic to cilantro and Jalapeno is too spicy.

        Do you think salsa verde would work? It is mild and made from tomatillas

          Totally! Anything you would normally put on tacos would work.

      First, all of your recipes sound absolutely delicious! I can't wait to try one! But for this one, why type of slaw would you recommend?? When I think of slaw, I think of coleslaw and I'm pretty sure that is not what you are referring to! Thank you so much for sharing all of your wonderful recipes!!

        Traditional coleslaw would totally work. I also like a cabbage/kale slaw that they sell at Trader Joe's. Just anything crunchy 😉
