"A burrito bowl is effectively a deconstructed burrito, and as such, it can have all sorts of components that you’d usually love to roll up into a tortilla. For our bright, filling (and veggie) bowl, we’ve opted for creamy black beans, a quick tomato, corn, and bell pepper salad, guacamole and crispy tortilla chips (with a bonus hack for making them at home out of stale tortillas!) served on limey cilantro rice. You can also add some spice and your protein of choice such as pan-fried chicken, ground beef, or crumbled tofu or tempeh to your mix. On top, add some cilantro leaves, a dollop of sour cream and your favorite fiery salsa, if you like."

Step 1/5
- 1 package corn tortilla (optional)
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt
- Oven, e.g. from Siemens
- baking sheet
To turn your stale tortilla wraps from the day before into crispy chips, preheat the oven to 180°C. Cut each corn tortilla in 8 triangles, add to a bowl with a bit of plant oil and salt. Place in a single layer on a tray in the oven and bake for 4 minutes or until crispy. Flip once after about 2 minutes. Work in batches if necessary. Remove from oven and let cool. Set aside for later. Skip this step if you're using store-bought tortilla chips.
Pro Tip
This works great with the Air Fry function of your Siemens iQ700 oven and the special Air Fry tray, which is designed so that air circulates evenly and you get even browning and crispness on all sides! No flipping needed.
Step 2/5
- 150 g basmati rice
- salt
- pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 280 ml water
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- pot (small, with lid)
- oven-safe container (optional)
Add the rice to a small pot, set over medium heat. Dry-toast it briefly (approx. 1 min) stirring constantly. Add salt, pepper, bay leaf, water, and a drizzle of olive oil to the rice. Bring to a boil on high heat, then put a lid on, reduce to low heat and let cook for approx. 12 min. Remove from heat and let the rice continue to steam with the lid on until serving.
Pro Tip
Ever cooked rice in the oven? The Siemens iQ700 steam oven makes this extra simple thanks to the special feature for rice! Simply add the rice, seasonings, and 300 ml water to a microwave container with a lid and cook using the Basmati rice program of the oven.

- ¼ tsp smoked paprika powder
- salt
- pepper
- sieve
- knife

Drain the black beans and reserve the liquid. Finely dice red onion and garlic.

Add the beans, a few tablespoons of the bean liquid, cumin, hot smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper.

- 1 avocado
- 1 lime
- 175 g canned sweet corn

Make a quick guacamole by mashing the avocado with some lime juice to taste, then season with salt and pepper. Set aside. Drain corn, then dice tomato and deseeded red bell pepper. In a small bowl, mix together corn, tomatoes, bell pepper, and remaining red onion. Season to taste with olive oil, lime juice, salt, and pepper.
