Notes
- Storage Info:
- Store the components of Barbacoa Beef Bowls separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator; they will stay good for up to 3-4 days. You can freeze the beef for up to 3 months for optimal quality. When ready to eat, reheat the beef gently in a microwave or on the stovetop until heated through. If frozen, thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating. It's best to prepare rice and other fresh toppings fresh when serving.
