Vegan Black Bean Burrito Bowl

Easy and simple. Quick too! And loaded with protein, plus healthy fats.

A note from Andrea, Founder of The Fit Body Project:

"I haven't always been a fan of black beans but this hit the spot today. Black beans are so versatile and don't have a distinct strong taste. They make for a great protein source without a lot of fuss!

I was out of tomatoes and cilantro but whipped this together anyway! Picture shown without but feel free to add. Top your bowl with tomatoes and add the cilantro into the guac for even more yum factor!"
