Barbacoa Inspired Rice and Chip Bowls
with Bright Pico and Avocado Crema
Opting for a simplified and weeknight friendly version of the authentic slow simmered beef version, these bowls still bring all the flavour in ground beef form. Quickly sautéed with a mildly spiced seasoning sauce and spice blend, we're also giving you both rice and tortilla chips so you can choose your own adventure with every bite!
