Pack up these burrito bowls and take them for lunch, dinner or after work out snack. These are delicious warm or cold and the fresh squeeze of lime over top gives the fresh veggies a lift and cools down the heat from the chipotle. Plus, makes use of leftover vegetable or cooked quinoa, which are the perfect way to change up the toppings for your burrito bowl.
