Lentil Burrito Bowls. I have been having a love affair with lentils lately. This time it’s a recipe for vegan burrito bowls. My other recent recipes were the Lentil Sloppy Joes and the Easy Lentil Loaf. I do also have another recipe for healthy burrito bowls as well.
That one is made with a cilantro rice as a base. These healthy burrito bowls use lentils and tomatoes as the base. This recipe is super easy.
The lentil base cooks very quickly. Then all you need to do is add the fixings. I added corn, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado and roasted red peppers.
You can really add anything you like. Make them your own! I think some homemade salsa would be yummy on these as well. These healthy vegan burrito bowls are vegan and gluten free. Make sure to top them with my dairy free sour cream. 🙂
