One-Pan Chicken Burrito Bowls

Yum

August 29, 2014 by Jodi + 4 Comments

I’m still trying to figure out how it got to be Labor Day weekend already.

I’m pretty sure it was just the other day that my boys running around like mad men hoarding as much Easter candy as they could get their hands on at our annual Easter egg hunt. This entire year is flying by at warp speed. I really don’t appreciate it.

Anyway, let’s talk food.  This dish is fabulous. It’s one of those start-to-finish-skillet meals that make dinner a snap. I’ll try and refrain from gushing about how much I love skillet meals because I’m sure you probably know by now.  

These one-pan chicken burritos rocked our table the other night and then again two nights later. I couldn’t help myself. It’s simple, amazingly delicious and ALL my boys loved it! I think Braydon even ate it without picking out all the tomatoes, which is a HUGE feat for him.

This is the perfect weeknight meal for so many reasons. It’s quick, scrumptious, dirties only one pan,  and pretty darn healthy  just to name a few. I love quick meals like this because now that my boys are back in school, some nights are just a rat race trying to make sure homework is done, piano is practiced and after school chores are completed.

You’ve really got to try this.

P.S. I made a batch of my yummy homemade cafe rio dressing which we drizzled over this and it was completely fabulous!

    Okay this is THE dumbest question ever, but is salsa verde green or red salsa? (I’ve never bought it before) Told you it was a dumb question (LOL) 🙂

      Hey Tammy, salsa verde is green. I love Trader Joe’s salsa verde, but any brand will work. There is never such thing as a dumb question :).
