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!
