burrito bowls

When I get home from work, I’m hungry. As much as I love making dinner, sometimes I’m just ready to eat and I don’t want to spend a lot of time prepping, chopping, and cooking. That’s when I look for shortcuts. These burrito bowls only take a few minutes to throw together so you’ll have dinner ready in no time!

For this particular recipe, I used the Minute® Ready to Serve Organic Red Quinoa and Brown Rice with Garlic which is a blend of organic red quinoa and brown rice with a little garlic and onion. It is 100% whole grain, a good source of fiber and gluten free.

It’s easy to customize these bowls with whatever you love!

How to Make Avocado Lime Sauce

You can make the avocado lime sauce a few hours in advance if you like. The lime juice will help prevent the avocado from browning, but I don’t recommend making it more than a few hours in advance.

  • In a small dish, mash the avocado and stir in the lime juice.
  • Stir in the mayo and add a pinch of salt.

If you want to make the sauce super smooth, feel free to blend it in a small food processor. If you love this sauce, you’ll also love my cilantro sauce! It’s easy to make and it’s perfect drizzled on vegetables, tacos, and salads!

You could obviously add any of your favorite toppings to this. Cheese, sour cream, salsa, etc. I had mine with a little bit of the avocado lime sauce drizzled on top and that was all I needed! Of course, I scooped up some of my bowl with chips… because that’s the best part of a burrito bowl!
