Easy Mexican Recipes
Add Flavorful Toppings
It is very easy to customize barbacoa beefburrito bowls to have the toppings you like the most. I like to make my life easier at dinner time by letting everyone make their own bowls. I normally go with making things easy and just add chopped cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sour cream but if you want to change things up. You can add things like green peppers, avocados, red onion, homemade salsa, homemade guacamole, pico de gallo, Mexican cheese, or cheddar cheese. Just pick your favorite toppings for burritos and tacos and put them on top of the barbacoa and cauliflower rice.
Like spice? Add some spice with sliced Jalapeno peppers or some chipotle peppers.
If you have family members who are not low carb they can add toppings like sweet corn, corn salsa, pinto beans, black beans, and change out the cilantro lime cauliflower rice for white white rice or brown rice.
Meal Preping tips
If you are looking for an easy to make meal prep recipe this one is one of my go tos. You can make the barbacoa and cauliflower rice and then in serving containers fill them with the burrito bowl ingredients and store them in the fridge. I do suggest putting the cold ingredient toppings in a small container and the beef and cauli rice in another so you can reheat them and then add the toppings when you want to eat it.
