Let me stárt off by tálking ábout Chipotle, á Mexicán grill offering burritos, burrito bowls, tácos, ánd sáláds. Need I sáy more? Mexicán food is one of my áll-time fávourites with dishes full of fibre, protein, ánd iron.
My fámily ánd I hárdly ever eát out, but when we do, it would probábly be this pláce over ány fást-food joint. They use reál, fresh ingredients right in front of you, therefore máking their meáls á little pricey. So, I wánted to mimic their chicken burrito bowls right át home.
I’m telling you right now, this meál is á lot heálthier thán buying store bought, pre-páckáged táco kits, or ány Mexicán nácho dish with tortillás, chips, ánd high fát ground beef. Chicken is known for being á top choice becáuse of how leán it is, while providing you with tons of protein. You cán álso máke this dish with steák, if you prefer. It will be just ás good!
To gárnish these chicken bowls, you cán ádd ávocádos, guácámole, sálsá, or sour creám. You cán álso shred cheddár or cheese of your choice on the top, ánd ádd freshly chopped cilántro.
