Healthy Chicken Burrito Bowls
These healthy chicken burrito bowls are low in fat, carbs and calories! Bursting with fresh flavors, and super filling!
These healthy chicken burrito bowls are perfect for meal prep or, if you want to have a nice, clean and healthy meal!
They are bursting with fresh and whole flavors. Having very little carbs, calories and fat. But keeping you super full and satisfied.
The sriracha lime sauce is my favorite part of this recipe! Simple to make and guilt free. Using a non fat greek yogurt as the base. 0% fat, plain greek yogurt is a great base to use for cream sauces, such as this one.
Cauliflower rice is a great rice alternative if you are looking to go the low carb route. But, it can also be very bland and blah. If you season it the right way, it can actually be very tasty!
Mixing chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper with the cauliflower rice gave it the best flavors! I could eat it all day!
Seasoning the ground chicken with the right spices, gives it that perfect taco flavor! I’ve said this before, and ill say it again…you don’t need to buy those taco seasoning packs to season any type of meat! Just a few spices mixed with some salt is the way to go!
Assembling these bowls was fun! I like to make my food look nice and neat, obviously for presentation purposes. But it also just looks way more appetizing.
These would be perfect for a meal prep. This recipe made about 4 servings.
If you end up making this recipe, I hope you enjoy it!
