    A delicious recipe for Carne Asada Burrito Bowl that is simple, filling and easily customizable for any taste and preference!
    A Carne Asada Burrito bowl with forks on the side and half an avocado.

    My love for the carne asada burrito bowl starts years ago, in college, with Chipotle. For some reason the only protein I would get was their carne asada (or as they call it, their “steak” option). So when I started making burrito bowls, I started with carne asada and it’s still my favorite type of taco and burrito (or burrito bowl) protein and the type I make the most.

    I really love how simple and satisfying this dish is and how it’s also really portable. If i’m taking this meal with me on the go I make sure to keep the cold toppings in a separate tupperware from the rice and carne. That way I can heat the rice and beef up and add the rest of the toppings on afterwards and everything is fresh and tastes as it should.

    This carne asada burrito bowl is also a great make ahead recipe and great for meal planning. The carne is also really versatile and can be used in a number of different recipes. Enjoy! xx, Jenny

    Our Carne Asada recipe packs a lot of flavor. If you have the time, it’s really worth it to leave it marinating overnight, but don’t worry, it will still be tasty if you forget to prep it (like I do all the time). You can cut the marinating time. Check out our Carne Asada recipe here!

    If you have any leftover Carne Asada, or you want to double the carne asada recipe so you can have leftovers, then here are some other recipes that makes doubling the recipe very much worth it:

      I’ve been wanting to cook this for a while and finally made it tonight. And it was, without a doubt, the BEST meat marinade I have ever tried, and the bowl as a whole was outstanding. This will definitely go on repeat in my weekly household menu!
