Notes

  • Instead of using romaine lettuce, why not try some other greens like spinach or kale for a nutritional boost?
  • If you don't want it to be vegan, some leftover chicken shredded on top is a good addition, or some chunks of your favourite cheese.
  • Don't have any black beans? You could use chickpeas, pinto beans or kidney beans instead.
  • Are you one of the few people out there that doesn't like guacamole? Fear not! You can still get all that delicious creamy flavour by using hummus instead. Even if you love avocado, make some avocado hummus to mix things up a bit.
  • Bored of regular salsa? Why not try using our Pineapple Salsa on this burrito bowl instead.
