A burrito bowl is basically a burrito without a tortilla. You can serve it over rice, over quinoa, over a lettuce salad, .... or alone. It's versatile and eager to make you happy. In this image I used ground beef and served it over brown rice.

Ingredients
- 1 cup Instant Black Beans. If you use hot water you can expect them to refresh in about 20 minutes. If you use cold water it will take about 30+ minutes.
- 1 cup Thrive Chicken Dices OR Thrive Ground Beef
- 1/2 cup Thrive Green Peppers
- 1/2 cup Thrive Red Peppers
- 1/3 cup Thrive Chili Peppers
- 1/3 cup Thrive Onion Slices
- 1 cup Thrive Tomato Dices OR 2 T Tomato Powder
- 1 cup+ (or more) Thrive Sweet Corn (we really like corn, so I'll often double the amount)
- 1 cup Thrive Shredded Cheddar OR Pepper Jack Cheese (don't be afraid to add more cheese if you love cheese) You be YOU!
- 1 heaping Tablespoon Taco Seasoning (your favourite blend)
- 2+ cups (or more) HOT water
Directions
- Refresh Instant Beans ahead of time (at least 1/2 hour). Set aside.
- Refresh Shredded Cheese ahead of time (at least 20 minutes). Set aside.
- Refresh meat ahead of time (at least 15-20 minutes). Set aside.
- Put all ingredients except for cheese, tomato powder, Taco seasoning and water, into a bowl. Mix to combine thoroughly.
- Mix tomato powder and Taco Seasoning and dissolve in 2 cups HOT water, being sure to get rid of any lumps..
- Pour seasoned water over top the mixed ingredients and stir to ensure everything gets moistened. If it absorbs the water too quickly, add another cup water.
- Taste test and adjust seasoning as desired. I often add Red Pepper flakes for a little spice. Decide now if you want some salt and pepper (more than what's in the Taco seasoning)
- As a last step, add the refreshed shredded cheese and toss to combine thoroughly.
- Serve over top rice.
- optional but nice:
- Serve with Salsa and Sour cream on top.
- Serve with "Avocado Lime Dressing" (also on this recipe site)
- Serve with 'Taco Salad Dressing' OR 'Cilantro Lime Dressing' in my blog site "BackyardCityHomestead.com". Just search the name of the dressing.
- Serve with a handful chopped Cilantro on top.
- Enjoy!
- Using freeze dried ingredients makes everything quick, but don't hesitate to substitute any ingredient with a 'fresh' alternative. Simply factor in a few more minutes and plan to saute the peppers or onion a little to soften at the beginning.
