    This Chipotle style bean bowl is the kind of bowl that make me very happy. A good helping of spicy beans, roasted veggies, lettuce or greens, fresh salsa and guacamole is all is needed for a hearty lunch or dinner. Most of the work is chopping up the veggies if you have cooked beans. And easier if you have some salsa and guacamole on hand. Let the beans simmer on one side and the veggies grill on the other. Assemble as you like. It rarely gets assembled like these pictures. My bowl helping is a a big scoop of everything in any order, and in goes the fork. 

    Or make a carry out lunch. Pile up on a large 10 inch tortilla, roll into a burrito and carry along. Use other beans and salsas for variation. What’s in your burrito bowl!

    Ingredients

    For the Spicy Black Beans

    • 1 tsp ground cumin
    • 1 tsp garlic
    • 1 tsp ground coriander
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) chipotle pepper powder
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) dried oregano or a tbsp fresh oregano
    • 2 tbsp chopped cilantro
    • a very generous dash of black pepper and cayenne
    • 1 tbsp ketchup
    • 15 oz (425.24 g) can of black beans drained or 1.5 cups cooked black beans
    • salt to taste depends on if the beans are salted or not

    For the roasted veggies

    • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
    • 1 green bell pepper thinly sliced
    • 1/2 (0.5) red onion sliced

    For the guacamole

    • 1 ripe avacado
    • 3 tbsp finely chopped red onion
    • 1 small tomato finely chopped
    • 1/2 (0.5) jalapeno or hot chili finely chopped
    • 1/2 tsp (0.5 tsp) ground cumin
    • 1/4 cup (4 g) chopped cilantro optional
    • a generous dash of cayenne or chipotle pepper, garlic, black pepper and salt
    • 2 tsp or more lime juice or lemon juice

    For the pico de gallo

    • 2 medium tomatoes finely chopped
    • 1/2 cup (70 g) finely chopped red or white onion
    • 1/4 cup (4 g) chopped cilantro
    • 1/2 (0.5) jalapeno or hot chili finely chopped
    • 1 tsp or more fresh lime juice or lemon juice
    • 1/4 tsp (0.25 tsp) salt

    Other:

    • Cooked rice of choice or cooked grains
    • chopped lettuce or greens of choice
    • a dash of lime juice salt and cayenne

    Instructions

    Make the black beans

    • Add all the ingredients to a pan over medium heat. Mix well. Add a tbsp or so water and mix in. Cover and cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until the beans are hot. Stir once in between. Taste and adjust salt and spice.

    Roast the veggies

    • Heat a grill pan over medium high heat. Spray oil on the pan (optional). Place the veggies on the pan and cook both sides until most have brown edges or marks. You can also cook the veggies in a regular pan. Heat a tsp of oil over medium high heat, add veggies and cook until golden brown on most edges.

    Make the guacamole.

    • Mash the avocado well, add the rest of the ingredient mix well. Taste and adjust salt and tang.

    Pico de gallo

    • Mix everything, taste and adjust and keep asie, or use other salsa of choice like spicy salsa or tomatillo salsa.

    Assemble

    • Assemble the bowl as you like with cooked grains, lettuce and helpings of the black beans, guacamole or just mashed avocado, roasted veggies and pico de gallo. Add a dash of salt, cayenne and lemon juice. I like to serve the bowl with warm beans and roasted veggies as the rest of the ingredients are cold. Or assemble all the fillings into a large tortilla and roll into a burrito.

    Notes

    Cilantro Lime Rice: Mix in chopped cilantro, lemon juice, lime juice, salt to taste, and a 1/2 tsp olive oil into cooked rice for a chipotle style cilantro lime rice.

      Hi there, just found your site, loving the recipes. Can you please tell me if the nutritional info is in net carbs (with fiber removed) or total? Also, does the nutritional information include the rice, or just the recipe before additions?

      Whole meal was amazing! Very quick and easy to make… However, I think I definitely need to go easier on the chilli. This had my whole face burning

      I loved this flavour-full dish! I cut back a bit on the Chipotle pepper and the beans were delicious—exactly as spicy as I hoped. I ran out of time to make the Pico di Gallo, so just used store bought salsa. So satisfying, and a perfect meal for my vegan boys. Thank you!

      I love rice bowls of any kind! I don’t live anywhere near a Chipotle so making a good one at home is essential! 🙂 p.s. I ordered the fenugreek you had suggested to me on IG awhile back. Thanks!

      Made this for dinner last night! Used some tomato paste and added a bit more water to make the bean sauce creamier and made cauliflower rice but it was really yummy!

      Definitely making this! I have a container of home made vegan sour cream that I can also add in. Not much Mexican themed food here in South Africa and not much of that is vegan :).
