Veggie Power Bowl Taco Salad

January 5, 2017 by Aimee Stock Leave a Comment

If you’re craving the bold flavors of a traditional taco salad, but you need to ditch the carbs, you are going to absolutely love this simple and versatile Veggie Power Bowl recipe!

Veggie Power Bowl Taco Salad

One of my favorite “go-to” meals to get via the ever-so-popular, drive-thru Mexican-style restaurant is a Veggie Power Bowl. It’s like a traditional taco salad without all of the carbs. It contains everything you could ask for and is easy to eat with a fork – a plus for me, since I unfortunately tend to occasionally wear my food. Sometimes, when I am pressed for time, I get these to bring home and use them to make my own soft tacos.

Veggie Power Bowl: Vegetarian Taco Salad

We have all of the essentials: A base of shredded iceberg lettuce, black beans and latin or white rice, tomato and onion salsa with Italian parsley, guacamole, and sour cream. Top it off with your favorite Mexican cheese and it’s perfect just like this. You could opt to add seasoned ground beef (or ground crumbles, if vegan). One of my new favorite additions, and quite an unexpected one, is seasoned hash brown country-style potatoes. The possibilities really are endless.

The creamy guacamole recipe is simple as well, with a secret ingredient that gives it a bit of tanginess which I happen to love. Mashed ripe avocados are combined with freshly squeezed lime juice, mayonnaise (vegan alternative available), cilantro (or Italian parsley if you aren’t a fan of cilantro), and seasoned with salt and pepper.

I like mild taco sauce and sometimes, a spicy ranch on my Veggie Power Bowl. Creamy jalapeño or chipotle sauce would be nice options as well.
