Looking for easy? I have you covered! These Slow Cooked Southwest Chicken Burrito Bowls were our Sunday dinner tonight!! I had to share them with you ASAP! I was at a baby shower for my sweet cousin today and I knew I would get home right before dinner time so I figured instead of rushing around trying to get something cooked up, it would be the PERFECT day to use my slow cooker! I was right! This was DELICIOUS! The boys even loved the rice, beans and chicken combo, but Lord help me if I could get them to eat a green pepper with out spitting it back out. Ages 2 and 4, I will just pick my battles β they ate most of it though! AND Basili and I both have lunches for tomorrow! BONUS!!
The next time I make this, I am going to cook the quinoa separately and add it to the slow cooker β it will help speed up the process a bit so that is how I am going to write up the recipe.
You can add more or less quinoa and beans to the mix β or even corn if you donβt do beans! Just make sure you are counting your yellows accordingly!
Serve in a lettuce wrap or just eat out of the bowl β it is good both ways! I topped mine with a little shredded cheese, avocado slices and some cilantro. Mix in a dollop of plain Greek Yogurt and some salsa! YUM!
If you like your food SPICY β add some diced green chilis or jalapenos for some extra heat!
This was delicious! Thank you so much for the recipe!
Tried this tonight and it was awesome! The whole family enjoyed it.
