One Pot Burrito Bowls
Weeknight, one pot, customizable – check, check, check! This simple & filling dinner also doubles as a great make-ahead meal for weekday lunches. Skip the chicken to make it plant-based, or swap it with tofu or another favorite protein.
What You’ll Need
1 lb diced chicken breasts or thighs
½ onion, diced
1 Tablespoon olive or avocado oil
1 cup cooked black beans, drained
1 cup thawed frozen or drained canned corn
1 14 oz can diced tomatoes
⅓ cup salsa
1 cup rice, rinsed and drained
2 Tablespoons taco seasoning
2 cups chicken stock or water
Salt & pepper, to taste
1 cup grated cheddar/jack cheese
How to Make It
Heat a large lidded skillet over medium high heat. Add onion and chicken and cook 2-3 minutes until chicken is browned and onion is translucent.
Add beans, corn, tomatoes, salsa, taco seasoning and rice. Stir to incorporate then add stock/water slowly. Bring to a boil, then cover and reduce heat to low.
Cook covered for 15-20 minutes or until rice is fully cooked. Top with cheese and allow to melt before serving.
Serve as a burrito bowl topped with sour cream, guacamole, lettuce, lime and/or hot sauce. Or scoop fillings and toppings into large tortillas and roll into burritos.
