Easy Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burrito Bowls Chelsea's Messy Apron

If you follow me on Instagram Stories, I shared some of my recent trip to Chicago for an “Organic For All™” event sponsored by Safeway and Albertsons. It was such a whirlwind quick trip, but so much fun and I can’t wait to share more about it all! But first, let’s discuss these veggie burrito bowls.

This meal has been a huge dinner win in my home. It’s so easy to prepare, it’s healthy, makes a great meal prep, and it’s super filling (and hey, that’s even without meat!). Brown rice topped with roasted veggies + black beans and then the most delicious sauce coats every bite. Seriously – this sauce is going to make you want to put it on ev.ery.thing. Add some avocado, lime, and cilantro (jalapeño if you love some heat) and you are well on your way to dinner heaven.

This meal is very simple to prepare. You start by prepping out the rice and get that cooking while you preheat the oven for the veggies. Quickly chop up the sweet potatoes (or buy pre-chopped if you are in a hurry!) and some bell peppers and then throw those in the oven with a few seasonings.

While everything is cooking you can prep the sauce that coats it all and just take it easy for a bit. Once everything is done, the assembly begins — basically throw it all together and mix it up and dinner is served.

For this recipe, I used O Organics® Basmati brown rice. I get my O Organics products at Safeway and Albertsons, but if you are outside of the Utah area, O Organics products are available at Albertsons Companies stores across the country, including ACME Markets, Vons, Jewel-Osco, Shaw’s, Tom Thumb, Randalls, Pavilions and Star Market.

So, more about the event! It was such a great time! The absolute highlight of the trip was getting to create a recipe in the Rick Bayless Kitchen at the Kendall College. After a fun cooking demo by Annessa Chumbley, a super knowledgeable and talented dietician, we were able to go down to the kitchen.

There were tables filled with tons of O Organics

products that we could use to create a recipe. We all created our own recipes in the kitchen and had a blast creating delicious food!

I created a Mexican rice dish that I definitely need to make again and share here soon. We all got to take pictures of our dishes in a huge room filled with tons of light.

After that we got to chat with each other and then did a session of yoga which was relaxing and so much fun.

Thanks Safeway and Albertsons for the fun trip!

Special thanks to Safeway for sponsoring this post. As always, all opinions are my own.
