Build Your Own Burrito Bowls – When Dinner Delights

I easily get stuck in a rut with meals. I forget that my three little mouths to feed need a change. Sometimes I get it right, and this week I had success with Build Your Own Burrito Bowls!

You can use any of your favorite Mexican foods – just place each food item in its own bowl with a serving utensil and let your family choose what they want and scoop it themselves into their bowl.

Here are the foods we had for our burrito bowl feast.

The girls LOVED serving their own food and ate so many things they never eat! We actually had to stop dinner because they wouldn’t stop eating!

How do you get your family excited about meal time?

    Burrito Bowls – what a great and simple idea! It’s going to dinner Sun nite, when our kids and their families are here – everyone will get a dinner they like; and it’ll be a quick and easy clean-up! Lunch on mon will be Taco Salad – so simple with all the left-overs!
    Thanks for the idea, and keeping my menu planning simple!
