It’s easy to “eat the rainbow” when it’s as delicious as these Rainbow Salmon Burrito Bowls with Maple Chipotle Sauce!
Rainbow Salmon Burrito Bowls with Maple Chipotle Sauce are vibrant in both colors and flavors - and textures, too! These bowls feature classic burrito ingredients like rice and beans and guacamole, but add texture with crunchy, thinly shredded green cabbage and pops of sweetness from diced mangos. Smothered in the Maple Chipotle Sauce - you’ll want to eat these every night of the week!
Summer is the time of year when “eating the rainbow” of vegetables and fruits is easiest, with so much produce in season. Feel free to play around with the ingredients you include for each color in this bowl. Any color of bell pepper would be delicious, red cabbage instead of green, brown rice instead of white - as long as it’s colorful, that’s the goal! More color equals more variety, and that’s a good principle to keep in mind any time you’re building a meal. Diversity in the foods we eat, especially plants, is key to a healthful way of eating.
I also like these Rainbow Salmon Burrito Bowls with Maple Chipotle Sauce because when you build bowls like this for a meal, everyone can pick and choose the toppings they like and build their own bowls. More mango, fewer tomatoes? More beans, less cabbage? You do you! Whatever you do, make Rainbow Salmon Burrito Bowls with Maple Chipotle Sauce soon!
