Cantina Power Bowl
A healthy and satisfying southwest-style bowl packed with flavor!
Bring the bold flavors of the cantina straight to your table. This hearty, customizable bowl starts with a bed of fluffy brown rice, layered with roasted corn, sweet bell peppers, caramelized onions, and a hint of jalapeño for just the right kick. Fresh guacamole, salsa, and a squeeze of lime brighten every bite, while your choice of protein—juicy chicken, tender shrimp, savory beef, or plant-based options—makes it satisfying your way. Finished with a sprinkle of melty cheese or vegan blend and a drizzle of ranch or smoky chipotle, this bowl is a vibrant balance of fresh, creamy, spicy, and bold.
