Tips for Perfect Vegetarian Burrito Bowls

1) Dry off the corn! Use a paper towel to dry off the corn kernels as much as possible before roasting. This will help them get nice and crispy in the oven.

2) Personalize your bowl. Let everyone in the family make their own burrito bowl with their own favorite vegetarian toppings. It’s a surefire way to please the kids.

Variations – Customize your Burrito Bowl!

1) Make it vegan by substituting the sour cream and cheese for non-dairy versions, or leaving them out entirely. There’s plenty of flavor!

2) Switch up the cheese. Replace the Monterey-Jack cheese with your own favorite like cheddar or feta cheese.

3) Mix up the toppings. Try chickpeas for added protein and fiber. Or try topping your vegetarian burrito bowls with some crushed tortilla chips for added crunch.

4) Swap the rice. Switch out the rice for protein-packed quinoa or fluffy couscous for a change of pace.
