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.

  • 1 lb diced chicken breasts or thighs

  • ½ onion, diced

  • 1 Tablespoon olive or avocado oil

How to Make It
