Chicken Burrito Bowl Recipe by Becky Hardin
This burrito bowl has it all! Wonderfully flavored chili chicken, a tangy salsa, creamy avocados, sweet corn and much much more! Easy to whip up ahead of time, it’s hearty, delicious while still feeling lovely and fresh. Burrito bowls are typically served over rice, or if you’re looking to cut down on your carbs, you can serve your toppings on a bed of shredded romaine lettuce.
Can I Substitute The White Rice?
Indeed! Brown rice gives you a solid dose of healthy carbs and fiber. You can also use quinoa, white rice, amaranth or couscous as an alternative grain.
How Long Do Burrito Bowl Last In The Fridge?
Burrito Bowls will last approximately 3-5 days in the refrigerator. The cooked/warm components can be stored together: chicken, rice, black beans and will allow you to heat them in the microwave without heating the fresh components. We would suggest storing the fresh/cold components in separate containers: lettuce, tomatoes, mangoes, etc. so they don’t make each other soggy and stay as fresh as possible.
