Aren't bowls all the rage! and for good reason. They are a modern classic, convertible, adaptable vegetarian meal that can be plain or fancy, healthy or indulgent, pretty or a hot mess. Regardless of how you like your bowl, I think we can all agree, this is a food trend that's not going anywhere soon.
I create bowls for dinner (and lunch) a lot during the week. Frequently they are bits and bobs from other meals we've enjoyed. This vegan burrito bowl recipe is a delicious, nourishing bowl packed full of incredible flavours, textures, and colours. It's very adaptable and is wonderful served as a hot and crunchy burrito wrap with dipping sauces too!
This recipe seems like a lot of work (especially if you don't have any leftovers like rice or beans); however, none of the components takes very long, and they are all super easy.

- Chop the veggies (including cilantro, juice limes, etc).
- Put the sweet potato mixture into the oven.
- Then make the chili-lime vinaigrette, the Tex Mex cashew cream, and the guacamole.
- Make rice and beans and make corn.
More Ways to Serve Burrito Bowl Ingredients
One of the top 3 reasons this yummy vegan burrito bowl is a family favourite is convenience and customization - set up the ingredients like a Burrito Bar and let everyone make their own bowl/wrap. Including tortilla shells creates 2 additional options to enjoy the burrito bowl ingredients.
Fresh Burrito Wrap Recipe - tuck some greens, rice and beans, sweet potatoes, avocado slices, and all the toppings into a tortilla. Roll it up and serve with salsa and extra cashew cream for dipping. Super delicious and fresh - plus this is great for on-the-go dinners or to take for lunch.
Crunchy Hot Burrito Wrap Recipe - put a layer of shredded vegan cheese on a large tortilla. Add sweet potatoes, rice and beans, corn, peppers, tomatoes, cashew cream, and more shredded cheese. Roll it up and grill it on all 4 sides until golden and crispy.
Top with guacamole, salsa, cashew cream, sriracha and green onion slices. This version is the family favourite as we love the crunchy shell and the hot, cheesy bits in the middle.
Have the bowl for dinner and the wraps (hot or cold) for a delicious, nourishing plant-based breakfast, lunch or dinner the next night!
