Albondigas burrito bowls are loaded with delicious vegetables and Mexican meatballs. A hearty meal that comes together in minutes!

So you’ve made all of those Mexican meatballs, here’s what to do with them. Well, some of them anyway. Make Albondigas Burrito Bowls!

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 or serve over Mexican Brown Rice, Mexican Cauliflower Rice or Cilantro Lime Brown Rice. Once the rice is done, you’ll be sitting down to eat in about 15 minutes.
