Jackfruit Burrito Bowl

Savor the goodness of jackfruit in this vegan burrito bowl filled with spiced jackfruit, black beans, corn, and fresh veggies. A Mexican delight that's high in protein and flavor.

Move over Taco Tuesday, there’s a new icon in town – the Jackfruit Burrito Bowl! Picture this: perfectly spiced jackfruit, a rainbow of fresh veggies, and zesty Mexican flavors dancing together in a bowl. It’s a party for your taste buds, and everyone’s invited!

What you will need for your own burrito bowl:

Jackfruit: The Sensational Standout Let’s start with the star of the show, jackfruit. If you haven’t tried it yet, you’re in for a treat! This incredible fruit has a texture reminiscent of pulled pork, making it an ideal plant-based substitute. While it may not match meat in protein content, it’s loaded with antioxidants and carotenoids that protect your cells and packs a vitamin A punch. When using canned jackfruit, be sure to rinse it thoroughly to remove all the brine, leaving behind only the delectable fruit.
Mexican Spice Blend: A Flavor Explosion Now, let’s talk about the spice blend that elevates this bowl to greatness. While I prefer to make my own Mexican spice blend (which I’ll share separately because it’s just that good), you can always opt for a store-bought mix to save time. Whichever you choose, these spices infuse every bite with the bold, warm, and earthy flavors of Mexico.
Black Beans: Nutritional Powerhouses No Mexican dish is complete without black beans, and for a good reason. These little legumes are nutritional powerhouses, bursting with plant-based protein, fiber, and antioxidants. They play a key role in managing blood pressure, sugar, and cholesterol levels while adding a rich, hearty flavor to your meal.
Refreshingly Crunchy Veggies For the toppings, I’ve gone with classic burrito staples, including red baby bell peppers, fresh cilantro, and creamy avocado. However, one of the beauties of this recipe is its versatility. You can add or omit any of your favorite veggies to create your perfect bowl. After all, it’s your flavor fiesta!

Let’s Get Cooking

To bring this culinary fiesta to life, start by preparing the jackfruit. Combine a tantalizing mix of spices with olive oil and a splash of water to create a flavorful paste. Coat the drained jackfruit with this aromatic blend and stir-fry it in a hot pan until the spices are cooked and fragrant. Then, set it aside in a bowl, ready for assembly.

In the same pan, sauté chopped onions and crushed garlic until they caramelize and release their delightful aroma. This duo will add depth and sweetness to your bowl.

Assemble Your Flavor Fiesta

Now comes the fun part – assembling your Jackfruit Burrito Bowl! Begin with a bed of crisp iceberg lettuce in your bowl. On top of this verdant base, layer the spiced jackfruit, caramelized onions, black beans, corn, vibrant bell peppers, and fresh cilantro. Don’t forget to crown it all with half an avocado for creamy goodness. Squeeze a generous dose of fresh lime juice over your creation and finish with a dollop of vegan sour cream.

This isn’t just a meal; it’s a celebration of flavors and textures. It’s a reminder that plant-based eating can be exciting, delicious, and nutritious. So, grab your fork and join the Flavor Fiesta – it’s a culinary journey worth savoring!
