The Anti-Trump Burrito Bowl

For those who haven't realized yet, Mexican food happens to be perfect easy-to-veganize cuisine. It has beans, it has veggies, it has avocados, it has grains, plus loads of flavour so you're never bored. Put all those ingredients together and you're quite possibly stuffed, in fact, let alone satisfied.

Trump famously enjoyed a version of this dish from one of many Mexican-style chains around now, but what makes the In Your Vegan Face burrito bowl anti-Trump is the fact that it's healthy, good for you, and not hard to wrap your head around. The very fact that it's vegan also contradicts his omission of climate change and his family's history of hunting. 

While it's still easy to hop over to one of the many Mexican-style chains for your burrito fix, you can save tons of money (which is also anti-Trump) and make your own bowl even healthier by spending only 15 minutes to prepare it. And most of that time is just waiting for the quinoa to cook...

 

Not only is quinoa a better alternative to rice, it's also ready faster. Win-win!
Just note: This recipe makes about 3-4 servings, so feel free to cut in half or enjoy leftovers :)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of quinoa
• 1 can of black beans
• 1 can of organic corn
• 1 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup organic salsa
• 2 small soft avocados
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• juice from 1/2 lemon
• salt and pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Cook quinoa according to package, about 15 minutes.
2. Empty black beans and corn into strainer, drain and rinse. Then, dump into small pan with olive oil to warm up, about 5 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, make your easy and homemade guacamole by peeling avocados and removing the pits before placing in a bowl. Mash with a fork and add garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper, then mix everything together.
4. Once quinoa is ready, fluff with a fork and let stand a couple minutes. 
5. Carefully pour quinoa into a dish, then add black beans and corn, then add guacamole. Top with salsa and serve!
