This vegan dinner idea has it all, in fact—it’s a burrito bowl bonanza! You’ll top golden turmeric rice with hearty sautéed Mexican spiced mushrooms and saucy, garlicky black beans. Next comes a tangy tangle of pickled onion, a big drizzle of creamy guacamole sauce, a sprinkle of fresh cilantro, and crispy blue tortilla chips on the side for dippin’ and scoopin’. Burrito bowl-lovers: your time has come!

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Prep
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and thinly slice half the onion; dice remaining half. Cut onion slices in half crosswise. Zest and quarter lime. Roughly chop cilantro. Thinly slice mushrooms (skip if your mushrooms are pre-sliced!).

Cook Rice
2

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a small pot over medium-high heat. Add ½ tsp turmeric (1 tsp for 4 servings); cook until fragrant, 30 seconds. (Be sure to measure the turmeric; we sent more.) • Stir in rice, ¾ cup water (1½ cups for 4), and a big pinch of salt. Bring to a boil; cover and reduce to a low simmer. Cook until rice is tender, 15-18 minutes. • Keep covered off heat until ready to serve.

Swap in brown rice for jasmine rice. Use 1¾ cups water (3½ cups for 4 servings); cook for 20-25 minutes. (Save jasmine rice for another use.)

Pickle Onion
3

• Meanwhile, in a small microwave-safe bowl, combine sliced onion, half the vinegar, ¼ tsp sugar, and a pinch of salt (use all the vinegar and ½ tsp sugar for 4 servings). Cover with plastic wrap; microwave 30 seconds. Set aside to pickle, stirring occasionally.

Make Guacamole Sauce
4

• In a second small bowl (medium bowl for 4 servings), combine guacamole, half the cilantro, juice from one lime wedge (juice from two lime wedges for 4), a drizzle of olive oil, and as much lime zest as you like. Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches a thick drizzling consistency. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Cook Muchrooms
5

• Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until lightly browned on one side, 2-3 minutes. TIP: Add another drizzle of oil if pan looks dry. • Add half the Mexican Spice Blend (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are browned and crisp, 3-4 minutes more. Turn off heat; transfer to a plate. Wipe out pan.

Cook Beans
6

• Heat a large drizzle of oil in same pan over medium heat. Add diced onion, half the garlic powder (all for 4 servings), remaining Mexican Spice Blend, and a big pinch of salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, 2-3 minutes. • Add beans and their liquid; cook, stirring, until liquid is mostly absorbed and beans are saucy, 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat; taste and season generously with salt and pepper.

Finish & Serve
7

• Fluff rice with a fork; season with salt and pepper. • Divide rice between bowls. Top with mushrooms and beans in separate sections. Add pickled onion (draining first) in a pile. Drizzle with guacamole sauce and sprinkle with remaining cilantro. Serve with tortilla chips and remaining lime wedges on the side.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Some found it delicious, while others thought it lacked flavor. Adding hot sauce or extra seasoning helped boost taste.
  • Ease of prep: Instructions were easy to follow, though prep time and dishes required might be challenging in small kitchens.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding fresh tomatoes, spinach, or corn for more veggies. Some enjoyed extra garlic in the rice and beans 🧄.
  • Portions: Many wished for more mushrooms and guacamole. Some found the rice portion too small for two people.
  • Texture: A few felt the beans overwhelmed other ingredients. Try serving over lettuce for a lighter, crunchier meal.

Loved this a lot. Next time I will add extra Mushrooms, they tasted amazing! The Guac sauce was really really good too!

I added minced garlic to the rice with the turmeric and used garlic olive oil. Also stirred in some lime zest when the rice was done and waiting to serve. I added garlic powder to the bean mixture and grated garlic to the pickled onions. Loved it 🥰

The guacamole wasn't appealing. The rice was good but turned out very sticky. The beans would have been better and the entire dish fresher if they were just rinsed and left plain. I will probably not order this one again.

There needs to be more mushrooms and more pickled red onion. These kind of meals work well with my allergy to gluten, though I am a little tired of rice. I am always interested in healthy eating.

Everything included was tasty, although it needs more vinegar for that much raw onion (or instructions to cut them smaller), and the little cup of guacamole should have been at least one per person, if you're going to name the recipe after it.

This was a great base but it felt a bit heavy so we served it with half the rice on a huge bed of lettuce. Made it feel healthier and added a nice crunch!

I wouldn't have needed turmeric, I think maybe it zaps other flavors. Despite the amazing smell of the Mexican spice mix it didn't come through a lot. I probably need to salt more, and I think mushrooms are hard to season, too. We used hot sauce

I had to keep adding water to the rice because it kept sticking to the bottom of the pot. Probably need to start with more water rather than add it as it cooks. I did like the turmeric flavor in the rice

This was delish. I added some chicken and fresh smashed avocado... and the pickled onions are just everything. This was a great combo and I didn't even miss that there was no cheese.

Really enjoyed this meal! I would recommend switching out the chips for corn and adding fresh tomatoes to the pickled onions.
