Instructions

Bring water to boil over medium heat in a small pot. Add millet, stir, return to boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cook until tender (about 20 minutes).
Drain any remaining water from millet and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
While millet is cooking, assemble toppings and sauces.
Heat the refried beans in the microwave or over the stove. Set aside.
Select large individual bowls (or meal prep containers) that accommodate 3 cups. Arrange the following into each bowl:
- ½ cup cooked millet
- 1/3 cup refried beans
- 1/3 cup chopped lettuce
- ¼ cup corn
- ¼ cup cherry tomatoes
- ½ sliced cucumber
- ¼ sliced avocado
- ¼ cup shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1-2 tablespoons chopped green onion
- ½ tablespoon pumpkin seeds
- 1-2 lemon or lime slices
- 2 tablespoons salsa
- 2 tablespoons vegan sour cream (optional)
Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings (one 3-cup bowl each). If you are going to serve this for meal prep, dish up sauces on the side and add right before serving. Store in airtight containers for up to 5 days.
