I just discovered something new this past week, folks...
I love burrito bowls!
I know, I know. I am a little late to this bandwagon. 
Many of you have probably been die hard fans of burrito bowls for a while now and may be scratching your heads at my newly professed love for them. ;)
And I cannot really tell you why I have not tried one until recently. 
But what I can tell you is that I now love them.

Now I know all about the beloved take-out version of these, but we all know how long it can take to get through that line. 
With the help of the Latin Veracruz Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauce, I was able to get delicious burrito bowls on the table for the entire family in around 30 minutes!
And the best part? Everyone can make their burrito bowls exactly the way that they like them. ;)  I just set out our usual burrito toppings and let the family have at it. Less work for this mama! 

I made a chicken and black bean version, but you could easily add your favorite mild fish or pork to this instead.  Not a fan of beans? Leave them out or serve them on the side for those who do...

Latin Veracruz Chicken & Black Bean Burrito Bowls

by Frugal Foodie Mama
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients (Serves 4-5)
  • 1 tbsp canola oil
  • 1 lb of chicken, cut into strips
  • 1 pouch of Latin Veracruz Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauce
  • 15 oz can of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • Cooked rice (I used a 10 minute boil-in-the-bag rice)
  • Your favorite burrito toppings- avocado, tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream, shredded cheese, etc
  • Whole wheat tortillas, optional
Instructions
Heat the canola oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once heated, add the chicken strips to the pan. Brown on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Pour the Latin Veracruz Imagine® Organic Culinary Simmer Sauce over the chicken, add in the black beans, and give a gentle stir. Cook uncovered over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, stirring often.

To make your burrito bowls
Scoop some of the rice into a bowl. Spoon some of the chicken/black bean mixture over top. Then top with your favorite burrito toppings.
Serve with warm tortillas, if desired.
Enjoy!
