How to Store the Beef Burrito Bowls
- Storing Leftovers: Store the meat separately from the salad and sauce ingredients to be quickly reheated. The meat can be kept in the fridge for 2 days.
- Reheating Leftovers: reheat the beef in the microwave, in a microwave-safe dish for a couple of minutes, then add the build your bowl, and layer in the condiments.
- Freezing: this beef sauce freezes well and is a great idea for easy and convenient weeknight meals as it has a multitude of uses.
- Avoid lumpy meat sauce: use a spatula to press out any lumps, and I find using a chopping action with the spatula works to stop the meat from clumping.
