New recipe this week for lunch - Chicken Burrito Bowls!! I have a new accountability group starting today, so we wanted at least one new recipe for the week. This one was great, so happy to have another to add to our rotation! One of the great benefits to running the accountability groups is that they push me to not only focus on my workouts, but I end up looking for new recipes for challengers and find great ideas for our meals too!
Here's our recipe:
shredded chicken (see recipe below)
black beans (canned, rinsed and drained, or crock pot recipe here)
brown rice - cooked according to package instructions
shredded romaine lettuce
salsa - store bought or recipe below
cilantro, chopped
green onion, diced
grape tomato, halved
greek yogurt (optional)
avocado (optional)
Shredded Chicken in Crock Pot
4 chicken breasts
2 limes
cumin
garlic powder
salt
pepper
- Place 4 chicken breasts in crock pot. Squeeze juice of two limes over chicken. Sprinkle with cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook on low for 4 - 5 hours. Shred chicken in crock pot.
Salsa
2 cans rotel with lime and green chiles
2 cans fire roasted tomato, salsa style
1/2 jalapeno
1/3 bunch of cilantro
1 tsp garlic salt
- Place all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth. Makes a large batch of salsa, so either half the recipe or plan to use in another recipe for the week. We love using the salsa as salad dressing!
Place almost a full green container of shredded romaine in a bowl, top with 1 red container of chicken, 1 yellow of rice/beans, add other toppings as desired (salsa, cilantro, green onion, grape tomato, greek yogurt, avocado). Be sure to count your avocado as your blue! Enjoy!!
