    Notes

    These are great for meal prep! You can prep all of the individual components of these burrito bowls and then assemble once you're ready to eat. When I prep my own little individual burrito bowls in Tupperware, I store my "cold" ingredients like the salsa and avocado slices, in separate containers. This way I can heat up the burrito bowl part and then top with the cold toppings.
