When I see the word ‘Albondigas’, I usually think of Albondigas Soup. It is a favorite soup of mine, but it’s fun to try something new.

With some of the leftover meatballs, I threw together these burrito bowls. They were so good and took very little time to assemble. If you have a rice cooker with a timer, set your rice to be done at meal time. Once the rice is done, you’ll be sitting down to eat in about 15 minutes.
