Should I make “Food Friday” a thing? Post something about food every Friday? Thinking about it…
Anyway! On Sundays I meal prep, so this past Sunday I made chicken burrito bowls. I shop on a budget for myself and boyfriend, and I meal prep for us both. Roughly this means I’m the chef, sous chef, clean-up crew (although the bf cleans up after me because I always leave things out haha), and the food shopper (is that even a thing)? I’m pretty much a functioning meal prep company embodied in one tiny human!
I was scrolling through BuzzFeed Tasty videos and this video struck me. It made me hungry, crave salsa, chicken, and cilantro. This meant I had to make this for meal prep.
Just for reference, I make 7-8 meals for my boyfriend and 5-6 meals for myself. That means 12-14 meals total and half this week were these chicken burrito bowls. Here’s a picture of 6!
The 4 horizontal meals are mine, and the 2 on the right are his. The difference? His clearly have corn, beans, and tomatoes. Mine do not have those fun toppings because mine are only 387 calories (53 Carbs|3 Fat|33 Protein) and his are about 500 calories! His also have 1.5 cups of rice and mine are a strict 1 cup.
The best part? The chicken, onions, and peppers were done in ONE PAN! That’s right. One pan, into the oven for 30-35 minutes. Cutting the veggies only takes about 10 minutes or less, so overall cooking was a breeze. I was done making dinners (including portioning it out) in one hour. That’s impressive.
Are you into food porn? Because below is one hell of a picture.
If you’re curious, the chicken is seasoned with salt, pepper, cumin, and garlic powder. Then I topped it with salsa and that’s how it went into the oven! How easy is that?
If you have any meal prep suggestions or comments I’d love to hear them and try them out!!

I must show appreciation to you for rescuing me from this matter. Right after browsing through the world-wide-web and coming across views that were not productive, I was thinking my entire life was gone. Existing devoid of the solutions to the problems you’ve resolved all through this article is a critical case, and ones which may have in a wrong way affected my career if I hadn’t noticed your website. Your actual knowledge and kindness in taking care of all the details was precious. I am not sure what I would’ve done if I had not come across such a thing like this. I’m able to at this time relish my future. Thanks for your time so much for this impressive and sensible help. I will not be reluctant to recommend the sites to any person who should receive recommendations about this matter.
