Think of this as healthier (and cheaper!) Chipotle bowls that you can have all week long. Save time and calories here!!!
Simply think of this as a Chipolte bowl on-the-go. Except. You won’t be clocking in a 1000-calorie dinner disaster. (Seriously, their typical order comes in at 1,070 calories!)
But this bowl has all of the best flavors of Mexican food transformed into one convenient meal prep bowl with a healthy balance of nutrients, cutting out the worst nutritional offenders!
- The brown rice gives you a solid dose of healthy carbs and fiber. You can also use quinoa, white rice, amaranth or couscous as an alternative grain.
- I use chicken as the protein as it is low in fat and lean. However, you could also use ground beef, ground turkey or even ground tofu if you wanted to. Honestly, with the amazing mix of spices and herbs we use in this recipe, any of the proteins will taste incredible!
- The black beans also provide a high protein and fiber content along with several other key vitamins and minerals to maintain healthy bones, lower blood pressure, and manage diabetes.
- The corn is high in fiber, packed with vitamins and provides many antioxidants.
- The secret to this bowl is obviously the chipotle cream sauce. I use greek yogurt instead of sour cream as a healthier base. Add in to that the chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, fresh lime juice and garlic. This sauce is so good, my friends make a huge batch and use it on all their meals!
