Mexican Beef & Vegetable Rice Bowl
Easy Cooking, Great Results
What I love about this dish is that, like a taco, you can choose what you want to add to the bowl. I personally love every ingredient, but I know my picky middle child will likely not put the guacamole in the bowl. This a great meal and super easy to prepare on weeknights, so that is a great option. This is also great for a dinner party as the guests can choose what toppings they would like on their bowls. Truth be told you don’t have to add meat at all, this could easily be a veggies and avocado rice bowl on its own because the rice is the main star!
