Vegetarian Tamale Bowl | Ready To Eat Meal

This meal features our Mexican-inspired spin on the classic tamale, here in spicy vegetarian bowl form. We start with a masa corn cake, and top it with a hearty three-bean medley, which gets simmered with red bell peppers, jalapeños, poblanos, plus ancho and chipotle powder for an extra kick. It’s sprinkled with queso fresco for salty, tangy notes, and served with a cilantro-jalapeño crema, perfect for drizzling over top. Mexican-spiced sweet potatoes, roasted with red bell peppers and onions, make for a satisfying side.
