Chipotle Veggies over Rice Vegan Gluten Free is a super quick and easy meal to make for dinner and have leftovers for lunch the next day!Â
Spicy!
Chipotle Veggies over Rice! If you have seen my other rice/veggie dishes like my Veggies Fried Rice you probably know I'm not much for spicy rice BUT in this case it works nicely... the veggies are Chipotle spiced but the plain rice gives you something to cool your hot mouth down with! it's a perfect combo!
p.s. if you like spicy you could always mix the rice and veggies in the pan with a little more chipotle seasoning!
So I make a lot of different veggie and rice dishes because simply put, they are easy! 😉 not to mention super versatile!
but this time I stepped out of my comfort zone and made this chipotle flavored! I came across chipotle seasoning when I was looking for a spicy seasoning for my Baked Spicy Chipotle Sweet Potato Wedges  and you guys that stuff smells and tastes so hot and smokey and spicy and oh-so-good!!!
and like I mentioned earlier if you not into Spicy thats ok because the rice totally gives your mouth a chill out in between bites so you don't have to have a numb tounge! 😉
and ya know what else I love about rice dishes! they are perfect for more than one dinner or lunch the next day when you make extra! not all foods are good re-heated but in my personal opinion rice can get away with it! 😉
anyways I hope you give it a try and let me know what ya think! and have a bomb weekend!
