Black beans are so versatile, I stock up on cans in my pantry for days. I always pick up 1-2 cans of black beans and chickpeas, whenever I make a grocery run. If an apocalypse were to ever hit, come on over to my place, I have protein for years. If I use half a can of black beans for a recipe, the leftovers don’t stay in the fridge for too long. One of the best burrito bowls I enjoy eating is from Chiptole. Since that won’t be happening for a while, easy protein packed lunches, involve home-made burrito bowls. Once again, use any leftover veggies you have on hand. If you have any kind of leftover rice, this recipe is perfect for it.
