Fiesta Bowl (Plant-Based, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free)
This Fiesta Bowl is so delicious! Although nothing about it says “Mexican cuisine” aside from the smokiness for the tahini sauce and the avocado. I called it a Fiesta Bowl because, with all the vibrant ingredients, it reminded me of a fiesta but at its core, it's a vibrant, better-for-you burrito bowl.
