Easy Taco Meal-Prep Bowls

Meal Prep Suggestions

  • Don’t add avocado until you are ready to serve, it will oxidize and turn brown.
  • Customize to fit your favorite flavor profiles. If you love onions, add them. If you hate corn, leave it off.
  • This makes 8 servings, you could just make 4-5 and use the rest of the beef in a taco soup.
  • If you don’t want to eat the same thing every day, meal prep with friends, and swap.
  • Great containers make a difference, and you don’t need something expensive either.
  • If you don’t like warm tomatoes and cilantro, just scoop them off before heating, and add them back on after. It takes 5 seconds!
