It’s a win when everyone in the kitchen agrees that a new recipe is going to be part of the dinner rotation! The Chipotle Chili Bowl from Harlow Portland inspired this hearty, nutritious Harlow chili bowl. We love them and this bowl!
This plant-based dish is not only full of fiber and proteins, but it’s easy to prepare and great for meal preparation! We’ll show you exactly how to do it!
This epic bowl starts with the smoky black bean chili, which is made with black beans, onion, bell peppers, garlic, spices, and chipotle Peppers.
While the quinoa is cooking, you can prepare your favorite grain, such as brown or quinoa rice. You can also prepare the cashew-jalapeno sauce and make a kale salad by massaging it in lime juice, maple sugar, and olive oil.
The recipe is easy to follow and worth the effort. The only thing left to do is combine the ingredients into bowls and top with fresh cilantro and avocado slices if desired.
This is the perfect meal for when you want something nourishing and delicious. Bonus? Bonus?
