Tips for Mexican Burrito Bowl

A crisp tortilla should feel sturdy enough to support the toppings; if it bends easily, it may soften quickly in the bowl.
Drain the beans well to keep excess liquid from making the tortilla and lettuce soggy.
Keep the guacamole separate until serving if you want the lettuce and tortilla to stay fresher.

Drink pairing

A crisp Mexican lager
Its clean, light character complements the beans, cheese, and creamy guacamole without overpowering the bowl.

Storage

Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours and keep for 3–4 days. Store the tortilla separately from the lettuce and guacamole; reheat the bean-and-cheese portion until steaming hot.
