▢ 1/2 avocado, diced
▢ 1 large carrot, peeled and grated
▢ 1/2 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
▢ 1/4 cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
▢ 1/2 lime, juiced
▢ 2 tbsp. olive oil, plus more for serving

▢ Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the rice paper rolls:
Fill a shallow bowl with warm water, enough to cover your fingers while dipping. Soak each rice paper in the water for about 30 seconds until softened. Remove from water and place onto a clean surface.
Divide the cooked brown rice, avocado, carrots, bell pepper, cucumber, and lime juice among four large rice paper wrappers. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Fold over one side of the wrapper, then the other, forming a triangle shape. Continue rolling tightly towards the end, making sure all ingredients are evenly distributed. Set aside.
Repeat process with remaining ingredients.
Serve immediately garnished with extra olive oil, green onions, and sesame seeds if desired.
Step 2: Assemble the sushi bowls:
Place a bed of mixed greens in each serving bowl. Arrange the filled rice paper rolls on top.
Top each bowl with additional black beans, quinoa, mango, red onion, parsley, and chili flakes as desired.
Drizzle with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, or tamari.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Optional directions:
To make these vegan, simply swap out the honey or maple syrup for agave nectar or use a store-brand fruit spread made without added sugar.
For a spicier kick, increase the amount of chili powder used in the filling.
If you prefer a sweeter version, drizzle some date paste or maple syrup over the finished product.
Feel free to experiment with different vegetables and fruits based on seasonality and availability.
