I am beyond excited to share the recipe for this Mexican Buddha Bowl with you today!

It is literally one of my favorite meals. Like...literally. I eat this at least once a week (if not more), and I'm still not sick of it - so you know if must be good.

If you've never made a "buddha bowl" the just of it is...

1. grains
2. beans
3. veggies
4. sauce

Simple enough, right?

To make this an even better meal, I like to add some spiced, pan-roasted potatoes. Because let's be honest, potatoes are a staple in a vegan diet.

For this bowl, you can use plain rice OR you can use this Chipotle Corn Rice. It only takes 2 extra ingredients and adds a ton of flavor - so I recommend the latter.

Once you have one buddha bowl, you'll be thirsty for more...so get ready to be addicted.
