Quick Chicken Burrito Bowls

Quick Chicken Burrito Bowls recipe pictures One of my favorite fast food restaurants is Chipotle. It’s a close second to Taco Bell in my opinion. I know…I’m disgusting. Anyways, Chipotle is my guilty pleasure. When I go I can’t help but lick my bowl clean even though there’s probably 3+ servings. And not to mention it’s not exactly healthy. Kara and I have been making a homemade version of burrito bowls for awhile now. I love homemade burrito bowls because they’re quick and they satisfy my Chipotle cravings without leaving me feeling like I need to hit the gym for 5 hours.

The recipe below is just a suggestion based on how I prefer my burrito bowls. I try to keep my burrito bowls as healthy as possible with just a sprinkling of shredded cheese and a dollop of Greek yogurt (in place of sour cream). The pepper-jack is a great choice because it has a definite kick, if you add too much your mouth will be on fire.

These burrito bowls are really good! I love recipes where I can use rotisserie chicken–it’s convenient and makes for a perfect and quick weeknight meal. You could get creative by using steak or pork instead of chicken, or try a different variety of cheese or bean. Adding guacamole or salsa would be good too!
