Summer Mexican Bowl

summer Mexican bowl

Struggling what to make for a delicious meatless Monday? I’ve got you sorted! Try out this delicious fresh Mexican style Buddha bowl featuring my favourite black bean sauce – made healthier! I love Mexican style salads. I’m a big fan of places like Tocaya Organica and Gracias Madre – both are in LA so I decided to make my own versions at home back in Ireland. Hope you enjoy this dish as much as I do 🙂
