Notes on this Burrito Bowls recipe

➡️ Rice: We’re using x2 flavoured microwave pouches here for speed and convenience. You can make your own rice if you have the time and prefer the cost-saving.

Just be sure to follow cooked rice food safety guidelines (i.e. do not leave it hanging about at room temperature, cool it very quickly and then reheat fully until piping hot before serving).

➡️ Filling options: You can swap the additions to your own preference or what you have in the cupboard and fridge.

➡️ Hot or cold: We’re only heating the rice for this recipe to keep it quick, but if you have time you could also heat up the beans, sweetcorn and the chicken if you like.

➡️ Add cheese: A delicious optional extra!

➡️ Cook your own chicken: Again, for speed, convenience and flavour we’re using precooked Mexican chicken here, but you could always cook your own chicken (try it with the meat from my Oven-Baked Chicken Fajitas – yum), or use up leftovers from a roast chicken.

Why we came up with this recipe

So many of you loved my 10-minute Hummus Bowl recipe last year, which prompted me to create another no-cook version of something along the same lines. 

I also have Burritos Bowls in my first book, What’s For Dinner, but this does require some cooking, so we decided to come up with an instant, even quicker, alternative for my 15 Minute Meals collection.

Obviously, really if we’re talking about a burrito, we’re talking about a Mexican-style filling inside a soft tortilla wrap (like my Beef Burrito) BUT this is a ‘naked’ alternative to try out. Light, quick and perfect for throwing together when you have limited time.

See below for different variations to try out… or take this as inspiration and come up with your own!

Burrito Bowls Ingredients

• Microwave rice – Use a flavoured pouch if you prefer
• Tinned sweetcorn – Or freshly cooked
• Tinned black beans – Or any other cooked, canned beans that you prefer
• Mexican chicken – Precooked
• Avocado – Ripe please! Or you could use ready-made guacamole
• Fresh salsa – Try to buy the fresh type from the fridge (rather than in a jar)
• Limes
