Origins of Burritos

The concept seems to have later been introduced to the US around the 1950s and has since boomed in popularity and taken on many forms. I mean, how can you go wrong with delicious ingredients stuffed in a tortilla? Our inspired burrito bowl version skips the tortilla and loads up on all the fillings instead!

How to Make a Burrito Bowl

You can make a burrito bowl literally however you want. But here’s the loose formula for how we build ours: Bam. Dinner’s on the table fast. For this grain-free bowl, we opt for cauliflower rice seasoned with simple spices, sea salt, and cooked until just tender. Black beans simmer with spices and salt and are slightly smashed for a refried bean texture. Peppers and onions are stir fried until just tender and slightly charred while sweet potatoes roast. And guac is smashed (and heavily sampled before dinner). We hope you LOVE this burrito bowl!
