Notes

Adjust ingredients easily to create a low-carb or gluten-free meal using cauliflower rice instead of rice or quinoa. 
Storage Instructions
Burrito bowls can last up to 3-4 days when stored in the refrigerator. Consider using a lunch box where you can separate the wet ingredients from the dry if you plan on meal prepping and the ingredients are sitting together for an extended period. I prefer storing the ingredients separately and assembling them just before eating, but it is completely up to you.
