Plant-Based Taco Bowl

This Plant-Based Taco Bowl is an easy and versatile recipe. It is high in plant based protein and fiber that will keep your body powered throughout the day. I enjoy putting this same mixture over the top of a bed of greens to change it from a "bowl" to a "salad"! You could also add your favorite steamed veggies in a rainbow of colors like red or yellow bell peppers or broccoli. This will add even more health promoting antioxidants!
