burrito bowls

Unwrapped Mexican meals

Burrito bowls are a deconstructed burrito served in a bowl rather than wrapped in a tortilla.

The dish typically contains rice, beans, meat, and toppings like cheese, salsa, and guacamole—all the components of a burrito, minus the wrapper.

Popular at fast-casual Mexican restaurants: I'm trying to cut carbs, so I got a burrito bowl instead.
