No-Cook Chicken Taco Bowl
This was planned for this week for 3 reasons.
Heat wave + tiny condo means absolutely no cooking.
I knew this was going to be a busy week.
I LOVE taco bowls.
Here’s the thing. Since we KNOW meal prep is just having food available to us that makes life easier…this VERSION of meal prep is my favorite for busy weeks. Where i’m just rinsing and chopping - and that’s it. BUT it still tastes delicious. Not to mention - this type of meal is a great crowd favorite - build your own burrito bowl so everyone gets what they want, AND you can easily adjust the portions based on YOUR macro goals!!
Ingredients:
5.5oz of grilled chicken
65g black beans
55g sweet corn
2c chopped romaine
45g avocado
1 scallion
1T sour cream ( I used DF Violife)
2T salsa (I used mild Newman’s Own)
15g Mexican shredded cheese (DF Violife)
Instructions:
Rinse the black beans and the corn in a strainer
Chop up the lettuce, chicken, avocado, add it all into a bowl with the rice & corn, top with the sour cream, salsa & cheese
THAT’S IT FRIENDS!!!
MACROS FOR AMOUNTS LISTED ABOVE:
PROTEIN: 61g
CARBS: 66g
FAT: 17g
CALORIES: 695
FIBER: 17g
This is obviously a large portion salad bowl…so adjust the protein, carbs and fats as needed! But the great part about this type of meal, is that adjusting macros is super easy. Lower the protein? Reduce chicken portion. Lower the carbs? lower black beans portion. Lower the fats? reduce avocado.
ENJOY!! If you try it, tag me on IG @hannahj28 or comment below with how you made it your own!
