Transform leftover grains and roasted veggies into a colorful, nutrient-dense vegetarian burrito bowl using this recipe from PA Veggies. The best part is that it only takes about 15 minutes to whip up (perfect for a quick lunch or dinner on one of those nights where you don’t have the energy for a whole song and dance in the kitchen). Spicy beans and homemade salsa kick up a colorful combo of local corn, squash, peppers, radishes, greens, cukes and kale, though feel free to add in any produce you’ve got in the fridge!
