How to Make This Burrito Bowl Recipe:

Now, in a mixing bowl, let’s bring all the goodness together. Add the cooked turkey sausage, spinach, rice, black beans, taco seasoning, and chipotle in adobo sauce. Give it a gentle fold until everything is nicely combined. If you like things saucy, go ahead and add a few splashes of enchilada sauce to amp up the flavor.
