This bowl is a staple at our house! We love all things tacos and all things burrito! This bowl is fantastic on a nice summer day or a chilly night; put some crushed red pepper in to spice it up a bit. There are so many great ways to change up this bowl, so it fits your pallet and needs for food. You a vegetarian? What about adding some Quorn crumbles for a meaty flavor or some molten cheese on top for a punch!
