This Mexican flavored burrito bowl meal is simple and delicious. Top if off with your favorite garnishes like tomatoes, avocado, guacamole, salsa, sour cream or Greek yogurt. Makes 8 servings, but it's easy to half it if you want. The larger quantity is great for freezing extras or using it as multiple meals to reheat later. Portion fix equivalents are noted below.
