Ingredients

Base

  • 4 cups kale or romaine (optional)
  • 4 cups cooked rice or quinoa

Protein and Vegetables

  • 1 batch walnut taco meat
  • 2 cups roasted sweet potatoes
  • 1 ½ cups cooked black beans
  • 1 ½ cups cooked corn
  • ½ cup diced red onion

Toppings and Dressing

  • Cilantro Lime Dressing
  • Pico de gallo
  • Sliced avocado
  • Vegan queso (optional)
  • Lime crema (optional)

Instructions

  1. Assemble Base: In 4 individual bowls or meal prep containers, begin by adding about 1 cup of your choice of greens (kale or romaine) and 1 cup of cooked rice or quinoa to each bowl, creating a hearty and nutritious foundation.
  2. Add Protein and Veggies: Evenly distribute the walnut taco meat, roasted sweet potatoes, cooked black beans, cooked corn, and diced red onion among the 4 bowls, layering vibrant and protein-rich ingredients for a balanced meal.
  3. Top and Serve: Immediately top each bowl with fresh pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and your choice of Cilantro Lime Dressing or vegan queso for added creaminess and flavor. Optionally, add lime crema for a zesty touch.
  4. Meal Prep Tips: If preparing for the week ahead, add avocado and any sauces or dressings just before eating to keep ingredients fresh. When using kale, consider adding some dressing to the bottom of your meal prep containers so the kale absorbs flavor and softens.

Notes

  • Add avocado and sauces just before serving to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Kale can be pre-dressed so it softens and absorbs flavor during storage.
  • Walnut taco meat can be prepared in advance or substituted with other plant-based proteins.
  • This bowl is highly customizable with additional toppings or spices as desired.
