Millet and Black Bean Burrito Bowls
Millet and Black Bean Burrito Bowls are a healthy and hearty meal that is perfect for a quick and easy lunch or dinner. The millet is cooked in vegetable broth with onion and bell pepper, then combined with black beans, tomatoes, and cilantro. The burrito bowls are then topped with your favorite toppings, such as guacamole, shredded vegan cheese, salsa, or sour cream.
I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a healthy and easy way to use up some leftover millet. I had never cooked with millet before, but I was pleasantly surprised at how delicious it was. The millet is a good source of fiber and protein, and it has a slightly nutty flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the burrito bowls. I have since made this recipe many times, and it has become a favorite of mine and my family. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
