Craving a burrito bowl from your favorite fast-casual Mexican place? Here’s a simple DIY version. Most of the ingredients are items you can keep stocked in your pantry, so you’ll be able to make this for yourself whenever the mood strikes. It’s a perfect way to use up leftover cooked rice–or keep some premade rice in the freezer (swap brown rice, quinoa or another grain if you have it handy). Don’t skip the crema that you drizzle on top, but feel free to swap Greek yogurt for the sour cream.

Ingredients

1 cup cooked rice

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon lime juice

1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

¼ teaspoon fine sea salt

2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1 cup drained, rinsed canned black or pinto beans

½ cup jarred salsa

½ ripe avocado, chopped

4 radishes, trimmed, chopped (about ½ cup)

¼ cup shredded sharp cheddar or jack cheese

2 tablespoons sour cream

¼ teaspoon mild taco seasoning

Directions

In a medium bowl, fold together the rice, 1 tablespoon lime juice, cilantro and ⅛ teaspoon salt until combined. Divide between two wide, shallow bowls.
Divide the lettuce, beans, salsa, avocado, radishes and cheese between the two plates.
In a small bowl or cup, whisk together the sour cream, remaining 1 teaspoon lime juice, taco seasoning and ⅛ teaspoon salt. Drizzle over the bowls and serve.

Tips

This vegetarian version is hearty and filling, but you can also add grilled chicken, shrimp or steak, if you like.
