It all depends on the ingredients. When made with healthful foods like black beans, grilled chicken, and fresh pico, a Mexican bowl can be a great meal for you! However, if you load it with less healthy foods like chips, ground beef, and nacho cheese, your body will be less appreciative.

While Trader Joe's doesn't sell boxed or bagged Spanish rice, you can get everything you need to make a homemade version of Spanish or Mexican rice there. It's a simple recipe with just a few ingredients, including rice, tomato paste, onion, garlic powder, cumin, and chicken broth. For a healthier option, substitute brown rice for white rice. If you prefer an alternative to a rice bowl, you can always use riced cauliflower instead of rice in the recipe.

Mexican and Spanish rice is high in dietary fiber and is a great addition to a balanced diet. By using a rice cooker, you can make your meal prep super easy and have plenty of rice for your recipes.

Burritos manage to beat out tacos when it comes to macro- and micronutrients. Burritos have more protein and less total fat than tacos, although they are higher in saturated fat. They also have more iron (10% total DV), folate (11% total DV), and riboflavin (21% total DV) than tacos.

Basically, a burrito bowl is the insides of a burrito in a bowl. Grilled chicken, black beans, salsa, guacamole, and rice arranged deliciously in a bowl. Sometimes you'll also enjoy a side of corn salsa, fresh pico de gallo, or Mexican rice.

For extra color and flavor, try adding some red bell pepper or a few red onion slices for a pungent pop. For vegetarians or if you're just looking for a new twist on a burrito bowl, try some sautéed veggies on the side.

When making a homemade version, you can save yourself some serious prep time by using Kevin's Chicken Chile Verde and/or Kevin's Tomatillo Taco Sauce. Simply cook according to the package instructions and enjoy!

Brown rice is more nutrient-dense than white rice. However, white rice can be a better choice for people who have difficulty digesting fiber-rich foods.

This is something of a trick question, since there can be both hot and cold ingredients in a burrito bowl. Hot ingredients like black beans, rice, and grilled chicken are common in burrito bowls. You're also likely to enjoy some cold flavors, including lettuce, diced tomatoes, and fresh lime juice.
Now for some football Q&A...

Since the playoff game for the Fiesta Bowl won't be played until New Year's Eve, December 31, 2022, we won't know who plays in the game until the semifinals are completed and winners announced. It'll be exciting for sure!
