Mexican nourish bowls

Pin

Jump to Recipe


Quick, tasty and filling Mexican-style nourish or buddah bowls! These are perfectly balanced with carbs from the brown rice, vegetables, protein and some creamy fat from the avocado! I love getting Mexican food to takeaway for dinner. However, in order to save money, these nourish bowls have become a staple in our house. They are so easy to make and don’t make us feel gluggy or super thirsty afterwards (like many takeaways do).

We often use the toppings in burritos/wraps instead of on rice as well! Feel free to mix and change the toppings and add different vegetables and some chilli powder! This recipe is just some inspiration for what you can do for dinner.

I’ll keep this post short and sweet, just like this recipe. I hope you enjoy making it!
