Burrito Grain “Super Bowl”

Whether you are watching the big game or it’s family game night, flavor packed burrito bowls are the ultimate crowd pleaser. Set out easy-to-prepare rice with a festive display of colorful toppings and sit back while everyone enjoys creating their own bowl. They’ll think it’s super!

The grain base can be made with freshly cooked rice or leftover cold rice. For an easy time saver look for quick-cooking or instant brown rice. Precooked brown rice can also be found in the freezer section of some grocery stores.
