Turning Mexican burritos into a bowl offering

To serve the dish as a naked burrito bowl, add the rice to the bowl, followed by the beef mixture and top it off with the fresh produce. Add a spoonful of sour cream on the side for some extra flavour.

Message from chef Paul McDonald

Mexican burritos are rising in popularity across the country, so you’d be crazy not to experiment with its rich, bold flavours. I like this recipe because it is easy to make and can be served to your customer’s liking, whether it is as a wrap or bowl or with chicken or any mince.
