💡 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.
