Notes
Feel free to make substitutions and swaps:
- Cook your own rice instead of buying precooked.
- Swap ground turkey or even black beans for the beef.
- Use frozen veggies if you don't have fresh.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer: This is also a great freezable dish. Place leftovers in a freezer bag or container, and store in the freezer for up to 6 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
- Reheating: You can reheat in the microwave, but you may need to add a little bit of water or beef broth to help keep the rice from drying out.
