A spice rub with chili, garlic & onion powder, cumin and paprika gives the corn, zucchini and peppers in these grilled veggie burrito bowls a kick.
When I made these grilled veggie burrito bowls, I thought they would be actual burritos.
I had big tortillas and was all ready to go.
Then I completely chickened out.
I don’t make burritos that often. It was the rolling that intimidated me.
Would I be missing out on anything by skipping the wrap?
The tortilla is there just to hold everything neatly into its own little package.
A bowl can do that job!
Instead I focused on the fillings because it’s what’s inside that counts, right?
First I simmered brown rice. Once the grains were tender, I folded in lots of chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper.
I made a quick pico de gallo with cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, lime juice and cilantro.
With those elements completed, I fired up the grill.
Vegetables are one of my favorite things cook on the grill. I like to grill lots of them at once and then save the leftovers for all sorts of other meals like hummus sandwiches and pizza.
For the vegetables in these grilled veggie burrito bowls, I made a version of my go-to spice rub.
It’s a blend of chili, garlic & onion powder, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper that has a little bit of a kick.
I rubbed corn, zucchini and peppers with oil and the spice mix before they hit the grill.
When the vegetables cooled a bit, I sliced the kernels of the cobs and diced the zucchini and peppers.
To assemble to bowls, I arranged everything by ingredient: lime cilantro rice, grilled vegetables and black beans.
I spooned the pico de gallo right on top.
You can serve the grilled veggie burrito bowls with salsa and tortilla chips.
This recipe is written for 4, but the last time I made it, I saved it for a week of lunches for just me.
Adding greens transformed them into burrito bowl salads. I even used salsa for the dressing.

You should add nutritionals for your recipes.
Thanks.
