Notes
For the Beef Barbacoa, I always make a full recipe as it's written and freeze the extra I don't need in this burrito bowl recipe for an extra quick and easy meal the 2nd time around.The prep time listed below is about how long it takes to assemble a few burrito bowls. It takes me about 1 hour to cook the individual recipes listed here. Both the beef and the rice are made in the Instant Pot. So if you have 1 Instant Pot, make the beef ahead of time, or steam the rice on the stovetop.The nutritional facts were calculated without the toppings of choice. It's also just an estimate.Simplify with this Basic Burrito Bowl Formula: steamed rice, shredded beef barbacoa, shredded lettuce, black beans, corn, cheese, jarred salsa, and diced avocado.
