The Burrito It is a typical dish of Mexican cuisine that consists of a large tortilla that usually wraps meat and other ingredients. However, for its vegetarian version, it usually brings rice, a variety of vegetables and a source of vegetable protein, such as black beans, tofu or tempeh.
Likewise, I love the proposal to put together a bowlthe all-in-one concept it’s fantastic. Along these lines, I want to share this idea that combines the best of both worlds. A veggie fit bowl where tempeh, being a fermented food and rich in protein, makes it a hearty and nutritious dish. It has other essential ingredients such as brown rice and various vegetables intensely seasoned with a Mexican seasoning, which is basically a mixture of spices that includes paprika, cumin, granulated garlic and chili pepper.
Also, I propose to use frozen vegetables, to save time and solve a quick lunch or dinner. But it is possible to wash and cut the vegetables at the moment. And finally, some wheat tortilla chips and some freshly squeezed lemon wedges help to give it everything the tex-mex touch. Optionally, it can be served with guacamole, pico de gallo or green chile marinade.
Cook the brown rice, following the [instrucciones]((https://www.directoalpaladar.com/recetas-de-salsas-y-guarniciones/como-cocinar-arroz-integral-quede-perfecto), normally between 15 and 20 minutes. Set aside, season with apple cider vinegar and let it cool.
In a frying pan with olive oil or wok, over medium heat, turn the vegetables frozen and cook for approximately 12 to 15 minutes, until they are colored and crisp. Spice up with the Mexican Seasoning, the lemon juice and zest, the garlic powder and leave about 5 more minutes to integrate the flavors. Reserve.
Meanwhile, take the tempeh and cut into small squares. In a skillet without oil, brown each portion over and over for 2 to 3 minutes. Reserve.
Assemble the final plate with the brown rice followed by the vegetables and tempeh, and finish with some hemp seeds and fresh parsley (optional) on top.

What to accompany the burrito bowl with brown rice, vegetables and temeph
This proposal of burrito bowl with brown rice, vegetables and tempehdoes not need large accompaniments, being a unique dish very complete. But what it does complement is a cool drink, such as flavored water or a non-alcoholic cocktail. Even a glass of white wine or a drink based on tequila and/or mezcal will be exceptional.
