Foodie Friday: Chicken Burrito Bowls
Happy Foodie Friday everyone! We all know and love our beloved Chipotle bowls, but sometimes they just aren’t exactly the way we want them…so let’s make them at home!
These chicken burrito bowls are better than anything you can buy on-the-go, super nutritious, and so easy to make!
These are also super simple to meal prep for the week, throw in your fridge in to-go containers and keep them on-hand for an easy lunch or dinner. Give these bowls a try and enjoy!
Ingredients:
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 4 cups cauliflower rice
• 1/4 cup scallions, chopped
• 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1.25 pounds ground chicken
• 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
• 2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups frozen corn, defrosted
• 1 pint cherry tomatoes, quartered
• 1/2 cup greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobe sauce
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions:
1. Heat one teaspoon of oil into a large non-stick saute pan. Toss in garlic with a pinch of salt and sauté until fragrant.
2. Add cauliflower rice to the pan along with salt, pepper and chicken broth (or water). Pop on the lid and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the rice is tender. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool before stirring in scallions, cilantro and lime juice. Set aside.
3. Heat a large non-stick saute pan over a medium heat, add in remaining oil and ground chicken. Season with salt and pepper and break into crumbles with a rubber or wooden spatula until the chicken is in crumbles.
4. Once the chicken has turned from translucent to opaque, add in taco seasoning and stir to coat the chicken with the spices. Cook for a couple more minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Shut off the heat and allow to cool.
5. Once all of your ingredients are prepped and ready to go, you are ready to assemble your bowls.
6. Starting on one side of your meal prep container, layer cauliflower rice, corn, black beans, chicken and tomatoes. Repeat until you make 4 burrito bowls.
7. *OPTIONAL: combine greek yogurt, chipotle sauce and lime juice. Mix well!
8. Store burrito bowls in the fridge for up to 5 days. Top with yogurt sauce before eating. Enjoy!
