Easy Mexican Macro Bowls

By Flora & Vino 5 Comments

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Easy Mexican Macro Bowls packed with plant-based protein, leafy greens, and raw summer vegetables. Perfect to meal prep for easy workweek lunches. 

Easy Mexican Macro Bowls I’m a hot weather person for sure, but it’s been too hot in Virginia, even by my standards.

Our AC has been fickle lately too, not quite broken, but sitting somewhere on the cusp of breaking. Like it’s working wayyyyy too hard.

I welcome you to cool off with me by making this super easy Mexican Macro Bowl!

This macro bowl is inspired by all of the seasonal colorful tomatoes, ears of corn, and giant zucchini you probably have sitting in your fridge right now.

Because don’t they say that spicy foods cool you down?

Let’s try.

Easy Mexican Macro Bowls

I love adding zucchini spirals to this bowl for fun texture and crunch.

Confession: I’ve never actually made my own noodles, because Veggie Noodles Co  has me totally spoiled.

Their organic, pre-packaged spiraled veggies make adding spiraled veggies to dishes so easy I don’t even need to dust off my spiralizer.

The spiraled veggies contain only one ingredient (the spiraled veg, duh!) and are always crisp and fresh!

If you can’t find the spirals at the store, you can make your own zoodles or sub diced zucchini instead.

Easy Mexican Macro Bowls

My favorite part about this bowl is that it creates a creamy improv dressing as you go.

The guacamole, salsa, tahini drizzle, lime, and hot sauce mix together to make the most delicious Mexican MUSH you’ve ever tasted.

It won’t be pretty, but it will taste incredible.

I’ve been proudly chowing down on this bowl of mush every day this week and I swear each day it gets a bit tastier.

(AKA uglier.)

Easy Mexican Macro Bowls

If you’re into preppin’ like I am, add this bowl to your weekly menu!

Prepare the quinoa, black beans, cooked corn, and raw veggies in advance and assemble these bowls in less than 10 minutes for a stress-free summer lunch.

Feel free to mix up the veggies to make your own Mexican mix.

My favorite combination for a summer mix is corn, tomatoes, and zucchini  but some other ideas are bell pepper, red onion, or carrots.

      Hi L! I don’t have an exact macro count for this bowl right now. I’m hoping to start to add nutritional information to my recipes soon, though! XOXO.

      Hi there,

      I don’t, I’m sorry! It should be fairly easy to calculate manually.

IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣 - T IMAGINE YOUR STUFF SPONTANEOUSLY COMBUST. 🤣
-
This weekend I tackled cleaning and organizing a closet that I’d been avoiding. 🚪
-
It’s a spacious closet in my spare bedroom. It’s also the first place I put things I rarely use, storage stuff, and items that don’t have a home. Basically, it’s a giant walk-in “junk” drawer.
-
Over time, it’s gotten so full I could hardly open the door without a stuffed animal falling from the top shelf or stepping on a prickly Christmas wreath.
-
“Out of sight, out of mind,” I reasoned, keeping the door tightly shut. But I could feel the weight of the things through the walls. The cluttered closet had a pulse, a heaviness, a resistance. 
-
I was listening to @theminimalists podcast this week— the topic was letting go of “sentimental” stuff. They bluntly posed the question, “How would you feel if all of the stuff spontaneously combust?”
-
I thought about my closet, POOF, gone, in the blink of an eye. All of the things in there that I couldn’t even name, no longer my responsibility. Imagining all of that stuff taken from me in a catastrophe outside of my control, I felt relief. 
-
While I’m glad my closet didn’t *actually* implode, my reaction to the exercise made me realize that I needed to let go of some things to make space in my house, my head, and my heart.
-
So Saturday I shuffled through old stuff, filled boxes to donate, and stuffed trash bags. I didn’t let go of all of it, but it felt like a big step towards lightness and freedom. 
-
If you’ve been following me for a while you know that I’m on a constant journey towards a more minimalistic life. It’s a constant journey. I donate, I buy, I purge, I collect, I clutter, I minimize. 
-
I strive for everything I own to either have a purpose or bring me immense joy, and how can any possession do either buried under junk behind a shut door?
-
Today, I can walk into the closet unscathed and actually *see* my old high school yearbooks, two guitars, and toolboxes filled with paints and pencils from art school. 
-
Do you have a closet or space like this too? What have you been holding onto that you need to let go of this week? Please share!

CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today CHICKPEA & WILD RICE SOUP is new on the blog today. 🍲 Perfect for fickle spring weather that’s cold one minute and warm the next. I grew up eating cans of chicken and wild rice soup so this is a vegan and gluten-free tribute to the classic! This chickpea & wild rice soup packed with garbanzo beans, wild rice, and savory herbs in a light broth. It’s your new favorite veg-packed soup staple for all year round!
-
Did you know that most wild rice out there isn’t *real* wild rice? In this soup recipe, I used @edenfoods Wild Rice. //#sponsored This gluten-free whole grain is hand harvested by the Minnesota Leech Lake band of Ojibwe, Native Americans, by canoe! In learning more about wild rice production, I discovered that much of the wild rice sold isn’t authentic. *True* wild rice is Native American hand harvested from the wild by canoe, and is wood fire parched!
-
Authentic wild harvested wild rice ranges in color, cooks in only 25 to 30 minutes, is light and fluffy, and has a rich and delicious flavor, unlike the machine harvested stuff that’s black brown, chewy, and takes forever to cook. Outside of its great flavor, and texture, @edenfoods wild rice is rich in B3 and manganese and is a great source of fiber, B1, B2, magnesium, and zinc! It’s amazing added to this soup to keep everything thick and hearty.
