Quinoa Black Bean Burrito Bowl Recipes

A southwestern twist on quinoa that works as a sidedish or entree. As prepared, a low-to-medium amount of "heat", but easy to adjust depending upon your preferences. For less heat use plain black beans or tomatoes; for more heat, add hot sauce, spices, or peppers to taste.

This is a great salad for a summer potluck or cookout. Proteins from the beans and quinoa also make this a bright summer lunch.

One of my favorite sides, I also use this as a main dish for a quick easy high protein meal.

Healthy Vegetarian Dinner

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)

I love eating at Chipotle and even if I get the burrito without the tortilla all of the extras and the serving sizes of everything packs on a lot of calories. While I love the taste of their rice it is not brown rice, which I prefer to use. I also find it much cheaper to make this at home, rather than buying it. I prefer to make my own salsa rather than buying it in a jar. But of course you can substitute if you prefer. But this one tastes great! It is always a hit at cookouts and with my family. My secret ingredients to the beans are thyme and sage. They add so much flavor. I attended a vegetarian cooking class and the instructor talked about adding those two herbs to everything to give a richer and more satisfying taste. This was the first thing that I tried them in and it is delicious. This recipe is not very difficult to make nor is it time consuming. What will take the most time is the rice, which can be made ahead. I am very much an “add a little of this and that” person, so I did find it hard to pin down measurements! Fast Food Category

Black beans and quinoa provide plenty of protein- no fake meat needed! I really like these served with seasoned sweet potato fries.

OMG! Good! Excellent source of protein and very filling.
