    What Is A Chicken Burrito Bowl Recipe?

    A burrito bowl is all of the contents that would go into a burrito, but placed in a bowl instead of a tortilla.  With the addition of fresh toppings, this recipe will knock your socks off and leave you coming back for more!

    Is a burrito bowl healthy?

    Burrito bowls incorporate a carb, protein, and vegetable - so it is a very rounded meal.  They also have about 600 calories per bowl - so it's a meal you don't have to feel guilty about.

      This looks sooooo good, I can't wait to give it a try. It seems way better than my nachos el grande! I don't have a pressure cooker so will modify recipe.
