Mexican Buddha Bowls

Have you heard of “Build Your Own Buddha Bowls”? This is the Mexican-inspired twist, and trust me—it’s a crowd-pleaser. The beauty of this setup is in the freedom: line up all the fresh, colorful ingredients, and let everyone build their perfect plate. Some will pile them high into a crunchy hard taco, others will go for a soft tortilla wrap, and the salad lovers can toss everything together into a vibrant bowl. However they choose, it’s always flavorful, always fun, and—if my table is any indication—always worthy of seconds.
