How can I store burrito bowls for meal prep?

I love using these Sistema To Go containers for burrito bowls or salads because I can put the main ingredients that I will be reheating on the bottom and anything I want to stay fresh and cold on top. Plus there's a nice little container for salsa which comes in super handy.

Are burrito bowls healthy?

Absolutely! It really just depends on how you choose to make it. Making a burrito bowl at home is much healthier as you are controlling what you put into your bowl based on your specific health preferences. You can make it lighter on carbs, dairy or calories just by changing out some simple ingredients (check out the variations section for more info)

Instructions

For the meat mixture:

Spray a pan with a little oil spray (I love the one from Primal Kitchen Foods) and set on medium high heat. Add chopped onion and sauté about 2 minutes.
Add ground beef, taco seasoning and diced chiles to pan and cook until meat is no longer pink, breaking into crumbles. Once cooked, set aside.

For the bowl:

Heat cauliflower rice according to package direction or if using your own riced cauliflower, heat in a microwave safe bowl with 1 tablespoon water for about 5 min. Add salt and pepper and lime juice to the riced cauliflower and stir to combine.
While cauliflower is heating, chop tomatoes, onion and cilantro. Mix these ingredients together in a small bowl to form pico de gallo (mix of tomato, onion and cilantro)
Begin layering your beef burrito bowls into 4 dishes. Place cauliflower rice on the bottom, top with ground beef, then tomato, olives, pico de gallo and a quarter of the avocado. (I typically save the avocado for the morning of to keep it fresh)
Enjoy immediately or save in the fridge to use as meal prep!
