Burrito Bowls

Burrito bowls have become a favorite in my home, especially for my two boys.  They love the taste and I love how I can feed my family a healthy meal that can be ready in the time it takes to boil rice.  My burrito bowl was inspired by Qdoba's Naked Burrito.  This is a vegetarian version, but you could definitely add some grilled steak, chicken, or shrimp if you wanted.  I also like making mine with brown rice.  I hope you enjoy it!
