The Birria Adobo Bowl: Deep Dive into Macros & Flavor
The Birria Adobo Bowl (30g P | 36g C | 10g F) is engineered for those who crave bold, spicy, and savory profiles but refuse to compromise on their caloric budget. Unlike restaurant versions that often exceed 800 calories due to excess oils and heavy cheeses, this bowl utilizes a specialized creamy protein-rich sauce to maintain moisture and flavor while keeping the fat content to a lean 10g.
The base consists of zesty rice that provides complex carbohydrates for sustained energy, making it an excellent choice for a midday executive lunch or a post-workout refuel. If you are comparing this to other Southwest options on our menu, you might consider the Steak Burrito w/Salsa (46g protein) for higher carb needs, or the Fajita Chicken Bowl (250 calories) if you are in a strict cutting phase. However, for pure flavor density, the Birria Adobo is the clear winner.
