Quick and Easy Burrito Bowls with Avocado Lime Sauce
This post is sponsored by Minute® Ready to Serve Organics, and I’m so excited to share their latest products with you!
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! Need a hands off recipe? Try my slow cooker burrito bowls!
For this particular recipe, I used the 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!
What a great idea for a healthy and quick meal. I love that you used Minute rice for extra ease. I am going to have to try this. Thank you for sharing! Yummy!
These bowls look awesome! I think I’d put that avocado lime sauce on everyyyything!
Mmmh, you really have me craving a burrito bowl right now. Honestly, I’d have them more often if cooking the grains didn’t take preplanning. So while I’m not a fan of the added plastic waste, the idea of microwaveable grains is great. We don’t have that kind of product over here, though, or I’d give it a try :).
So simple and so delicious (I am pretty sure about it). YUM!
A quick and easy lunch recipe. Love these tasty bowls of goodness
Very handy to have this MInute Ready mix of brown rice and quinoa. I love the mix and flavours. Anything goes with it and when I am by my self it is a quick solution.,
Sounds fantastic! I’m loving that avocado sauce!
I love minute made rice (sooooo convenient as a college student) and this looks absolutely SCRUMPTIOUS!
I really love when you give simple recipe ideas like this! I was just thinking about how my regular rice bowls needed a shake up, but I’m not the most daring or experienced cook. I hadn’t seen these products yet, so I’m excited to put them on the roster!
Love burrito bowls – and especially how easy they are to make!
