Past Sarah is writing this as Present Sarah is sitting in a plane on her way back to Europe after what was (probably) three weeks of “offline” Chipotle-eating, Target-shopping deliciousness spent home in the states. But the thing is, Past Sarah was in dire need of Chipotle and couldn’t wait for her semi-annual trip to America to gorge on the good stuff. So she created these plant-based burrito bowls (with Copycat Chipotle Cauliflower Rice) and has been itching to share them with you! These vegan burrito bowls have two elements that I’m real excited about. You already know the first, the cauliflower rice! Seasoned with lime and cilantro, it’s a dead ringer for the rice from Chipotle (but with way less carbs). The second very exciting filling? The tempeh taco meat! Ground tempeh has a similar texture to ground meat when cooked, and we’re not holding anything back with the spices we’re throwing in. Cumin and smoked paprika and chili powder galore! Then of course there’s the adobo cream sauce, a simple combo of mayonnaise (plant-based or regular, your pick!), adobo sauce (from a jar of chipotle peppers), and lime. Throw it all in a bowl along with your favorite Tex Mex inspired veggies and you have yourself an ultra-filling, flavor packed plant-based burrito bowl!
Try serving these bowls with this Spanish Rice!
