Carne Asada Rice Bowl

Since we are home a lot (Joe works from home, and I stay home with Abel during the day), I do a lot of cooking. I try to find ways to switch up our meals and how to make each ingredient from meals stretch their farthest. Last weekend Joe grilled Trader Joe’s Carne Asada. (I’ve you’ve never tried Trader Joe’s Carne Asada you should, because it’s awesome. We love tacos, burritos, enchiladas, etc… but sometimes I want fewer tortillas in my life.

Well, the following day we need a simple lunch option so I threw together Carne Asada rice bowls.
