Calling this a burrito bowl is a bit of a stretch. It has quinoa, no rice. Incorporates a sea-dweller, not a land lubber. ‘banzo beans, not pinto. You remember from my cauliflower rice burrito bowls, I love throwing variety of food in a bowl and calling it a meal, which is how this meal occurred, too.

I made these bowls for my brother and myself after a mountain biking ride a few weeks ago. Pretty much the second after I hop off my bike at the end of a ride, I go into feed-me-now-or-die mode. I won’t hesitate to drop kick itty bitty tiny pretty things until I get fed.

After the ride, I rummaged through my cupboards and refrigerator and threw this together in 30 minutes flat, thus saving itty bitty tiny pretty things from getting drop kicked. The burrito bowls 200% hit the spot and then some, and for that reason, I figured I had better show you this non-burrito bowl burrito bowl.

A bowl with everything you need to end a beautiful day on the mountain, or any time you have a hunger to be satisfied.

Oh man what a protein packed dish. I love making homemade burrito bowls with different things instead of rice. I would have never thought to add salmon… now I am totally thinking this will make an appearance at our dinner table this week!
