# Expert Advice:
01 -
- All the glory of a cheeseburger without the heavy bun weighing you down afterward
- It comes together in thirty five minutes flat, which is faster than any delivery app can promise
- Everyone at the table customizes their own bowl, so picky eaters suddenly become cooperative
02 -
- Drain excess fat from the beef before assembling or your bowls will turn into greasy soup at the bottom.
- Let the avocado sit with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent it from browning if you are not serving right away.
03 -
- Cook the beef a little extra crispy on the edges for texture contrast against the soft avocado and fresh vegetables.
- Warm the bowls slightly before assembling so the heat from the beef does not disappear the moment it hits cold ceramic.
