Have you been hitting the Chipotle curbside a little hard lately? Save money and calories with these protein-packed meal prep burrito bowls!

One thing I love about this recipe is that it’s super easy to customize. I have a ton of leftover turkey breast, so I’m going to use that in place of the chicken (and save about 30 minutes of prep time in the process).

You can also sub cauli rice for the brown rice if that’s your thing! Whatever you do, though, don’t skimp on the veggies. 🙂
