How to make a burrito bowl

You might think burrito bowls don’t require a recipe: just throw a bunch of vaguely Mexican-themed ingredients in a bowl. Wrong! The magic of a burrito bowl is all about selecting and cooking each component to perfection. And that’s even more important in a healthy burrito bowl, because you’ve got to get a lot of flavor out of humble ingredients. All of the cooking techniques are simple, and no special equipment is needed. And with every single one of these ingredients coming from one store, it becomes an accessible way to eat more vegetables! ALDI has a wide selection of organic, gluten-free, low carb, high protein and clean label products and produce.

This vegetarian burrito bowl has a few keys to keeping it very tasty while at the same time, healthy enough to call it healthy. First, the cauliflower rice, a fun veggie substitute for rice that’s Whole 30 perfect for a low carb burrito bowl. Then we’ve got fajita-style bell peppers and onions and crispy roasted shredded sweet potato to super amp the flavors and textures.

But the pièce de résistance is our chorizo eggs! These chorizo eggs somehow mimic meat in flavor, texture, and appearance, and are oh so tasty! They come together in just 5 minutes in a skillet with a few simple spices: chili powder, garlic powder, and cumin. Finally, top it off with a dollop of salsa, a handful of greens and avocado chunks, and a squeeze of lime. The overall effect is a bowl of colors, flavors and textures that’s incredibly satisfying.

How to cook cauliflower rice

So, let’s talk about the cauliflower rice in this vegetarian burrito bowl. It’s rice made from finely chopped cauliflower! You can make it yourself with cauliflower and a food processor, but it’s also available already prepared in the frozen section at ALDI. Did you know that frozen vegetables are just as nutritious as raw? Because they’re frozen at peak freshness, all the nutrients are retained. So it’s convenient to have the cauliflower rice already prepared! How to cook cauliflower rice? Whether it’s raw or frozen, just sauté it in olive oil for about 5 minutes until tender and season with kosher salt. Though it doesn’t taste like actual rice, it’s pretty delicious and acts just like rice. (You could use it in this cauliflower fried rice too.)

Whole 30 vegetarian & customizing this recipe

What we love vegetarian burrito bowls is that they are so versatile, especially for feeding a crowd! When we have over a bunch of people, we love serving burrito bowls where you can have lots of different options for different diets and preferences. This recipe is Whole 30 vegetarian; it was challenging for us to create because most of the filling vegetarian fiber and protein sources like beans and grains are not allowed on Whole 30. Eggs are allowed, which is how we came up with these delicious chorizo eggs! Much of the protein on a Whole 30 diet typically comes from meat, so if you’re eating Whole 30 vegetarian, it’s important to make sure the recipes have lots of protein and fiber so that they’re filling.

If you’re not looking for vegetarian Whole 30 recipes, you can easily customize this recipe! Use rice in place of the cauliflower rice, or shredded chicken in place of the eggs. Or for a vegan option, use our simple black beans instead of eggs! But if you’re going to eat it as a Whole 30 vegetarian bowl, using our exact healthy burrito bowl recipe below keeps it filling so you’re not hungry a few hours later.
