A week’s worth of lunch made in just 1 hour. This time-saving meal-prep chicken burrito bowls recipe will help you get healthy lunch on the table at work, fajita burrito or home quickly without sacrificing flavor or your hard-earned money! This weeks meal prep recipe is chicken burrito bowls.

The meat, rice, beans, and fajita veggies are all loaded in 1 bowl for easy heating up, and the cold ingredients are placed in a separate bowl. When you are ready to have a fresh burrito bowl, you simply heat up the chicken bowl then top it with the cold salad, guacamole, and sour-cream. This is the BEST and ONLY way to have burrito bowls. You will feel like your eating a bowl straight out of chipotle. If you’re counting your calories, opt-in for brown rice instead or if you’re feeling a little generous, go ahead and add a handful of cheese on top of the lettuce and treat yourself.

A week’s worth of lunch made in just 1 hour. In the same pan, add a teaspoon of oil along with sliced bell peppers and onion. Saute for 3-4 minutes or until the veggies are tender. Once the water has boiled, add the rice and 1 teaspoon oil. Cover and reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. While the rice and chicken are cooking, mash the avocado in a small bowl.

To assemble: Divide the rice, chicken, bell peppers, and beans into 4 meal-prep bowls. Divide the romaine lettuce, a tomato salsa, a scoop of guacamole and scoop of sour-cream into the remains 2 bowls. Prep these ingredients every two days because they don’t last as long in the fridge. You can also find guacamole snack packs and pre-made pico de gallo in the refrigerated dressings section at your local supermarket.

Full Disclosure policy can be found here. Hi, just wondering for the chicken is 1 pound total. Also for the rice is it 1 cup uncooked rice? I should eat about 3200 calories a day so you think I can make them double, or it will be a whole mountain of a meal. I need low sodium recipes and don’t think your count is correct. 1 teaspoon of salt in the taco seasoning alone is 2300 mg.

I will decrease the salt and still try it because it sounds great but you should try and correct so it is accurate. You can make your own taco seasoning and ditch the store bought. And omit the salt from the recipe completely. I make my own taco seasoning all the time and it tastes zestier! You open the can, you heat the black beans in a pot on medium heat for about 5-8 minutes and it’s done.

It’s not described in the recipe so what’s the deal with asking. Does anyone know what the calorie count, sugar, fat, protein etc are for this? I scrolled through the page a couple times and cannot locate the recipe. I searched for a make-at-home burrito bowl and this one is definitely the most appealing so I am REALLY excited to try it but can’t locate the recipe! I also cannot locate a recipe for any of the dishes listed.
