I first came up with this recipe when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover watermelon. I had already tried making watermelon salad, but I wanted something a little more substantial. I started experimenting with different ingredients, and eventually I came up with this burrito bowl. It's quickly become one of my favorite summer meals. It's so refreshing and flavorful, and it's also really easy to make. I love that it's a healthy meal that I can feel good about eating.
