Ingredients

  • Mexican shredded chicken (made with 1 to 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs)
  • Quinoa, cooked (I used 1.5 cup dry, and it made extra)
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed (15 ounce)
  • 1 cup cooked corn kernels
  • 1 bell pepper, sliced in long strips
  • 1/2 yellow onion, sliced in long strips
  • 1/2 Tablespoon avocado oil (or oil of choice, or cooking spray)
  • Optional toppings: salsa, guacamole or diced avocado, shredded cheese, cilantro, squeeze of lime

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mexican shredded chicken and the quinoa according to instructions.

  2. Sautee the onions and peppers in some oil over medium heat, until they  soften (about 5 to 7 minutes); sprinkle with salt and pepper

  3. Assemble your bowls and/ or meal prep containers with lids.

  4. Reheat in either the microwave or oven until everything is warmed.

  5. Serve with salsa, guacamole, cheese or any desired toppings.

This made five servings for me, but that can vary based on preference.
