This is our latest favorite meal, often enjoyed outside on our deck on a warm evening. I vary the beans, and also the veggies and salsa, so the meal is different every time I serve it. I serve this in 8-inch “pasta” bowls, so there is plenty of room for all of the ingredients, making it a no-cook, one-dish meal. Eaten warm or cold, this simple burrito bowl is a tasty, satisfying treat!

  • Baked tortilla chips

In the recipe, it says "see notes" for the ingredients, but I'm not seeing any notes of what options you can include.

Hi Kathy, Thank you for pointing this out! This is a very old recipe, so we've tweaked it to make more sense now. We hope you enjoy it!

Made and served cold at gathering for first time, got lots of compliments on it. Found left overs heated on burrito with additional cheese/ not was as good as cold. Just a grand recipe for any meal.

I used wild rice since it is what I had on hand. I added cumin, garlic, lime and cilantro. It truly made a fantastic lunch.
