Chicken Burrito Bowl | Lunch Meal Prep

Is A Burrito Bowl Healthy?
Making a homemade burrito bowl is definitely healthy! Made from real whole food ingredients, these bowls are certainly a nutritious meal. Let’s break it down!

Cauliflower rice offers a delicious veggie base for these bowls. If you prefer a whole grain (which I often do), you can swap in brown rice, quinoa, or wheat berries. Really any whole grain you like will work. But I love how light the cauliflower rice is.
Ground chicken offers a great source of protein. I like to buy organic meats whenever I can find them. Keep in mind, you can also make these burrito bowls using ground turkey, ground beef, or even tofu.
Black beans also provide lots of protein and are also rich in fiber. Plus beans are super affordable. I love to keep them stocked in my pantry.
Tomatoes provide our bodies with vitamins A, K, lots of B vitamins and a huge dose of vitamin C. They also add a lovely fresh flavor to the bowls.
The corn is another ingredient packed with fiber, and also has a variety of vitamins and antioxidants. I always look for non-GMO, organic corn options. And I love using frozen corn for this recipe.
