Grab a rotisserie chicken and solve dinner fast and effortlessly with these quick burrito bowls.
Burrito Bowls with Rotisserie Chicken
Rotisserie chicken bowls are one of my favorite ways to build epic family dinners that I can get on the table fast. These burrito bowls are made with shredded rotisserie chicken and other simple ingredients that can be prepped ahead, stored in the fridge, then reheated and assembled quickly on the night you planned to make them.
Ingredients
The base of these bowls is rice, but you can use cauliflower rice or shredded lettuce for a low-carb version. Then, you’ll need shredded rotisserie chicken, canned black beans (or your favorite beans), shredded Cheddar cheese, jarred salsa or Pico de Gallo, and avocado (or guacamole).
How to Make Rotisserie Chicken Burrito Bowls
Here’s how to assemble these chicken burrito bowls:
- Cook the rice on the stovetop or in a rice cooker.
- Shred the chicken with a fork and place it in a serving bowl.
- Warm up the black beans in the microwave for 1 minute or until heated through. Season with salt, if desired. Place the remaining toppings in individual bowls and assemble.
More Chicken Burrito Bowl Toppings
These burrito bowls make a great self-serve dinner to load up with our favorite toppings. Some additional items to try in your bowl are corn, black olives, Queso Fresco, Cotija, chopped cilantro, a squeeze of lime juice, sliced red peppers, shredded lettuce, sour cream, and tomatillo salsa.
