In a previous post I showed you how to make easy shredded chicken in the crockpot to use for a whole bunch of different meal ideas, as well as leftovers for lunches or an easy dinner.
Last week I accidentally used a can of diced tomatoes with olive oil and spices.
This week I cooked my chicken on low in the crockpot with a small can of diced chilis and a can of plain diced tomatoes. I forgot my taco seasoning until the end and just sprinkled it when I shredded it.
These were the options everyone had for their burrito bowls: Shredded chicken, brown rice, shredded cheddar cheese, avocado, chopped tomato, chopped butter lettuce and black beans. Also: plain greek yogurt and tortilla chips (neither pictured).
We shred our own cheddar cheese from a big block, both to save money and to avoid additional ingredients in pre-shredded cheese.
You can shred it and put what you'll use for the week in the fridge and even freeze the rest until you're ready to use.
Everybody's bowl looked different! And everyone was happy because they could customize their own.
My six year old likes lettuce but not tomato and my four year old likes tomato but not lettuce!
I like it all!
My husband's somehow looked the prettiest! He added salsa and some hot sauces too.
Everybody ate their whole bowl!
And there are plenty of leftovers - eaten either the same way or made into quesadillas or fajitas in corn tortillas.
