Healthy ‘bowls’ were made famous in the restaurant business as a way to lower carbs. They make perfect sense as a way to cut carbs. As well, they’re perfect for when you have family leftovers. Furthermore, they’re a good meal prepping.

If I could tell every new mom one thing it would be to cook more when you’re cooking so that you’ll have leftovers and a jump-start on the next meal. Some things I always make extra like chicken, rice, beans, and corn.

  1. They are many, many, many recipes that you can use leftover chicken in. Chicken salad, sandwich, and wraps.
  2. Corn is great in soup, quesadillas, tacos, salads.
  3. Black bean burgers are great with extra black beans. They also go great in tacos, burritos, salads, and any Tex-Mex food.
  4. If you have extra plain rice, it’s great for Rice Pudding. As well, leftover rice is a great headstart for a fried rice recipe.

FAJITA CHICKEN BOWL RECIPE

This first time I made this, I literally used everything from the fridge that was leftover. We enjoy it so much that it’s become a staple for busy weeknights.

Even if you cook everything fresh, it comes together quickly, in the amount of time it takes the rice and chicken to cook.

  • Chicken – I cut boneless, skinless chicken breasts into small chunks so it would cook pretty quickly. You could grill the chicken or use rotisserie chicken.
  • Seasoning – You can use a pre-made fajita seasoning or make it yourself. Here’s my recipe for Homemade Fajita Seasoning. You probably have the ingredients to make it: chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, pepper, oregano, garlic, cilantro.
  • Corn – You can use fresh grilled or boiled corn, canned, or frozen corn. I love the convenience of the steam-fresh corn. It takes about 4 minutes to cook in the microwave. Furthermore, you can add the corn plain instead of making Street Corn. I do it both ways and since there’s a creamy Chipotle Dressing drizzled over the ingredients there are plenty of flavors if you don’t want to make Street Corn.
  • Pico – Make a quick pico with tomatoes, onion, jalapeno, cilantro, and lime juice. Or, pick some fresh pico up at the grocery store.
  • Rice – You can make Chipotle Lime Rice (easy recipe listed below) or use plain white rice, Basmati, Jasmine, or long-grain white rice. Use whatever suits your tastes.
  • Avocado – Because, like bacon, avocado makes everything better!
