I have been getting requests to create another bowl recipe! Since I have gotten a lot of positive feedback from our lower calorie Mexican dishes, I decided to combine the two and bring you a Mexican bowl. Trader Joe’s has amazing refried beans that are already mixed with salsa, saving on the cost of having to buy both. Using riced broccoli, will save you carbs, and calories. This one is a winner, and I know you will love it for dinner!
