Okay, so this burrito bowl is the best. We start with some sweet potatoes, toss them in some cumin and chili powder and roast them to crispy perfection, then mix up a fresh, tangy black bean corn salsa, cook some brown rice and then drench the whole thing in this creamy ancho chili sauce and top it with avocado, it doesn’t get much better.
It’s all delicious, but the best part is this sauce! It’s smoky, ultra creamy and full of flavor without being spicy and there’s only 5 ingredients. I’ve been putting it on everything lately. If you’ve never seen the magic of cashew sauces, prepare to be amazed. Cashews can make just about any sauce rich, creamy and luscious. It sounds weird I know, but trust me.
Not only is this bowl super delicious, it’s also easy to make, really healthy, and very filling. This would be perfect for meal prep as it keeps well in the fridge too, perfect lunch to take to work or school. Okay, here’s the video on how to make it!
