My favorite part about a burrito bowl is that it can be made into a nutritious meal or it can be a quick whip with all your leftovers. I didn’t make a very healthy and nutritious bowl but I actually tried used whatever I had left in my kitchen but I still made sure included some classic Mexican flavors. (Didn’t really get to click some good pictures but I was drooling even while cooking)
This recipe has a lot of elements and you yourself can add whatever you want. I went with a few basics like Mexican rice. some chicken and avocado.
