Herby Rice and Black Bean Salsa Burrito Bowl
Both fresh and substantial, this burrito bowl is packed with fresh herbs which elevate the rice to something special. The black bean salsa just needs to be mixed and it also makes a great jacket potato topper. Feel free to serve the sugar snaps raw if you like, but charring them adds extra flavour.
