Instructions

  1. To make the cashew chipotle cream sauce: Drain and rinse the cashews and place them in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse 5-6 times. Add in the garlic, adobo sauce, avocado, lemon juice, and salt. Process 15-20 seconds until it turns into a paste. Pour in the almond milk (or water) over the tube and process until creamy. Taste it for seasoning and add in if necessary.
  2. To make the burrito mixture: Heat oil in a large pan. Add in the coriander and cumin and cook until fragrant, 30-45 seconds. Stir in the onion and red pepper, and cook stirring occasionally, until translucent. This should take 5-6 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and garlic. Mix until totally combined. Add in the black beans, corn, and water. Season it with salt and pepper. Give it a big stir. Allow it to simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  3. To assemble the vegan burrito bowls: Place some brown rice at the bottom of a large bowl. Spoon some burrito mixture on top. Garnish it with tomatoes, peppers, scallions, avocados, and cilantro. Add a dollop (or more) of cashew chipotle cream sauce. Continue with the rest of the bowls. Serve each bowl with lime wedges.

Notes

  • If you do not have cooked brown rice on hand, you can make it as follows:Heat olive oil in a medium size pot with a lid. Add in the brown rice. Stir constantly until the rice is coated with oil and somewhat toasted, 3-4 minutes. Add in the water and salt. Let it come to a boil. Put the lid on, turn down the heat to low, and let it simmer for 40-45 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it sit 10 minutes without opening the lid. Fluff it with a fork and set aside.
  • Cashew Cream Sauce with Chipotle can be made a day in advance and kept in an airtight jar in the fridge.
