At Home Chipotle Bowls

Recreate the flavors of your favorite Chipotle bowl right at home with this easy and delicious recipe. Start by slow-cooking chicken breasts in a jar of salsa and a tablespoon of taco seasoning for tender, flavorful meat. Customize your bowl with your choice of beans, cooked rice or cauliflower rice, and shredded lettuce. Add a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream for creaminess, and top it off with queso and shredded cheese if you like. This versatile and satisfying meal is perfect for any time you're craving a homemade version of the classic Chipotle experience.

Of course, you can add sautéed onions and veggies and whatever other mix-ins you love. I love to combine cauli rice with rice or rice for the kids and I have on a salad. Lotsa options but yay for an easy meal and saving some money.
