Active: 35 Total: 35
Set everything for these burrito bowls out on the table and let everyone assemble their bowls as they'd like.
Smarts: The pantry is a great place to look for extra toppings if you want to add even more options - black olives, pickled jalapenos, or hot sauce would be great additions.
