💡 Notes & Tips

  • If using pre-cooked brown rice, use about 2 cups. In the meal prep bowls add about 1/2 cup of cooked rice. You can also use quinoa in place of rice to reduce the number of carbs.
  • You may use other meats like ground chicken or ground turkey.
  • Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
  • Freeze for up to 2 months.
  • If you do not want to serve it with the avocado cream sauce, swap with a little bit of sour cream or shredded cheese.
  • Save the avocado cream sauce in a small container separately before you store it.
  • Instead of pico de Gallo, use chopped cherry tomatoes.
  • Try with tortilla chips, shredded cheese, or shredded lettuce on top.
