Chicken Burrito Bowls

Add 1 cup of romaine lettuce to a bowl. Top each with ¼ chicken taco meat, ¼ cup beans, ¼ cup brown rice, ¼ cup pico de gallo, ¼ cup salsa, and 2-3 tablespoon guacamole. Add optional topping as desired. Dig in! *See note for meal prep and freezer instructions.

Notes

I recommend building the bowls upside down for meal prep and storing, with the guac and salsa on the bottom and lettuce on top. This keeps everything fresh and from getting too soggy.
