Expert Tips

  • We call for Old El Paso™ Mild Taco Sauce in this recipe, but if you’d prefer a bit more heat in your beef burrito bowl recipe, feel free to substitute Old El Paso™ Medium Taco Sauce.
  • Chopped avocado, or a dollop of guacamole would make a delicious additional topping to this burrito bowl.
