TACO BOWL
I am so excited to share this combo with you all because it is just THAT GOOD. So I think that the secret sauce is in the rice because that’s the most hearty part of the entire bowl and it is the base so you want to make sure you’re doing that all THE WAY UP. I’ll share below my rice recipe along with the way I stack my bowl and which ingredients I use. This recipe is made to be super easy so a lot of the ingredients are just veggies cut up, meat cooked & seasonings added. Nothing too crazy!
