Would you like to make dinner tonight fast and stress-free? We thought so! Our secret these days is PERDUE® SHORT CUTS®. A few packages of fully-cooked, seasoned, and sliced chicken breasts in your refrigerator guarantee dinner’s on the table in mere minutes. And Burrito Bowls are often the answer when 5 pm approaches and time is tight. The nice thing is they’re totally customizable: you can lay out all of the ingredients in separate containers and everyone can build their own bowl. Love tomatoes but hate corn? No problem? Extra chicken, hold the beans? Totally doable.
How Do I Make a Chicken Black Bean Burrito Bowl?
Burrito bowls are quick and simple to pull together. That said, there’s no compromising on flavor here: the chicken strips are tender and juicy with Southwestern flavors like tomato, garlic, pepper, and just a faint hint of spice from jalapeño. Simply warm the chicken (they’re fully cooked so you’re just warming them to serve) in a pan and season your leftover rice with a little lime and cilantro. Then heat the beans and corn with red onions and cumin, add the warmed chicken strips, and garnish with cherry tomatoes and store-bought guacamole. Boom! Dinner is served.
What’s the Best Way to Reheat Leftover Rice?
Honestly, one of our favorite ways to reheat rice is in the microwave – it’s quick but it also heats it evenly without drying it out. Adding a few teaspoons of water before popping it in to reheat ensures the rice will remain tender.
How Can I Dress Up My Burrito Bowl?
Feeling inspired to take these one step further? Sour cream and cheddar cheese are certainly always delicious if you have them on hand. If you’re looking to sneak in a few more veggies, some shredded red cabbage or chopped romaine would add color and crunch! Really, the sky is the limit in terms of how to build your burrito bowls – as long as you’ve got the backbone (rice, chicken, beans) the variations are endless!
