Meal Prep<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I designed this recipe to be used with cooked chicken and vegetables. If you need some help, here’s a quick guide on making sheet pan chicken and vegetables for meal prep:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also do this with raw chicken and vegetables, you’ll just to cook them longer in order to make sure they’re properly cooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Making a Quick Chicken Burrito Bowl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Making a burrito bowl is really simple if you’ve done the relevant meal prep. If you’ve done the work on the weekend, this should take 5-10 minutes when you actually want to serve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You start by heating a couple pans on the stove with some oil. While the pans are getting hot, assemble all of your spices for your taco seasoning in a spice grinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then grind it into a fine powder. By now, the pans should be hot. Toss the sliced chicken and vegetables into separate pans and add some seasoning to both pans. Stir to coat everything in taco seasoning and then let it cook on medium for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure nothing sticks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also combine them in one pan to cut down on dishes…<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

While the chicken and vegetables are getting hot, prepare the rest of your fixins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I like rice and beans in my quick chicken burrito bowls, so I take some leftover rice and beans, place them into glass containers, and heat them in the microwave until they’re warm. I also slice some romaine, grate some cheese, and halve some avocados.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once everything’s hot, it’s time to assemble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I add some rice and beans to a bowl, top with a bit of cheese, and add the chicken and vegetables. Then I add some romaine and some salsa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you can put these together however you want. It’s just like going to Chipotle. Add a little extra of the things you like and a little less of the things you don’t. Then serve with a tortilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We tend to buy raw tortillas from the store and then cook them ourselves. They have way fewer garbage ingredients and it only takes about a minute. You can usually find these types of tortillas in the refrigerated section of the grocery store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I personally like to serve it with a runny egg and I usually melt the cheese on top of the tortilla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
