All I can say about this burrito bowl is YUM!
After too many years of being deprived of good Mexican food living outside the States, I learned how to make my own burrito bowls at home.
…and it’s so easy.
If you’re looking for a healthy filling, hearty lunch, this is it.
The separate components in this burrito bowl are so simple to make and when mixed together you won’t believe you’re eating a homemade meal. Plus, you’re getting protein, veggies, carbs, and healthy fats all in one dish.
