Watercress and Quinoa Burritos with Sriracha Mango Slaw

This colorful and flavorful burrito bowl is packed with nutrient-rich watercress, protein-packed quinoa, and a tangy Sriracha mango slaw. It's a quick and easy meal that's perfect for lunch or dinner.

The inspiration for this recipe came to me on a hot summer day when I was looking for a light and refreshing meal. I had some leftover cooked quinoa in the fridge, and I wanted to use it up. I also had some fresh watercress from my garden, and I thought it would be a great addition to the bowl. I added some chopped bell pepper and red onion for crunch, and some avocado for creaminess. For the dressing, I whisked together some lime juice, sriracha, and mango. The result was a delicious and satisfying meal that was perfect for a hot summer day.
