I've always loved Chipotle but hated spending so much for a bowl. This helps me save, but more importantly teaches me how to make a nice vegan bowl with a unique style. Thanks!

[@RainbowPlantLife]

So glad to hear that you’re excited to make your own!

[@shellystone9380]

This was my first time cooking with tofu, but your videos are so helpful that I felt like I knew exactly what I was doing. It took me 3 hours (the first time you make a recipe always takes much longer), but this was sooooo good! I made the tofu sofritas AND the black beans, salsa, guac, rice, & fajita veggies, and I will feast on this all week. I love love love these recipes and I'm sharing with my friends who were here for dinner. Thank you

[@dmv1955]

Wow! Loved seeing your parents in this video! My 93-year-old mom came to the U.S. from India 76 years ago and many of her family followed. I love the accent! It brings back happy memories of big family gatherings 😊.

[@pdfbanana]

this is exactly the kind of content i've been needing! i get a sofritas bowl pretty often & stretch it into two lunches using a couple of home extras, but this sounds WAY better

[@RealFoodAndDrinks]

I stretch it too by adding it to a bowl of salad and I make my own dressing... Theirs is tasty, but I have some restrictions.

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Yes! This is a great option for meal prepping for a few days!

[@kathleenzanders4061]

I also stretch mine too! Of course would be better to make my own...Chipotle is for convenience more so.😊

I love when you include your parents....... so real and honest.

[@whitneyragan]

I found this recipe on your site earlier this week before you put the video up and made it a few days ago (x2 as we like to have food for several days). We've been eating on it all week and making the guacamole as we go. It's SO delicious and it's been saving me a lot of time during the week - just reheat and add the guacamole! Thank you for always keeping my stomach happy. ❤️

[@RainbowPlantLife]

🥳 that makes me so happy to hear! So glad that it has been delicious and has also saved you time. Double win!

[@_Oscar326]

My only challenge is time. Usually Chipotle is about convenience and my laziness. Can’t wait to take a crack at this recipe! My mouth was watering for your corn salsa!!😋

[@RainbowPlantLife]

Totally agree! I get it. I only go to chipotle when I have no time as well. The good thing about most of these components is that they will stay good in the fridge for several days so you can make this part of your meal prep!

It all worked so deliciously well and you do not miss the meat at all. This was so so good.

[@TheRedPandaTales]

You are doing a great job for the society❤️ I was a hard core non vegetarian till I visited a farm and witnessed the horror of the dairy industry. The cow is inseminated painfully every 6 months so that calf is born. The calves are taken away immediately without a single drop of milk. The male calves are transported to the slaughterhouse to be killed on the very day. This process continues for some years till the cow is completely exhausted and later sold for meat. That’s the milk we consume. I literally had sleepless nights after watching the cows, their udders become so big they can’t even move. And they run to save their babies from going to the slaughterhouse. Thank you for these recepies so that people can choose compassion in their plate instead of pain.
