    Vegan chipotle bowl is one of the high protein vegan meals these days. It is made with black rice, avocadoes and purple cabbage. I have never had tofu and broccoli this juicy and succulent. It took me by surprise at dinner last night. In our foodie adventure, Mexican food was quite comforting as the flavor palette is quite Indian-ish. Similar spices and flavors made things little easier when you begin your food journey. Later you are more open to trying more variety once you have tasted few familiar ingredients.

    Have you heard the latest buzz about it? “What is this, Chicotle?” he said, adding, “I want to eat this every day.” Well BTS and Jungkook are not wrong. Chipotle Mexican grill changed there twitter handle too in response. 2 days back we also tried it first time on the other side of the world and here is the chipotle tofu bowls recipe we made. It just tasted awesome!
