Mexican Buddha Bowl

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…
- grains
- beans
- veggies
- 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 thisĀ 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.
