Recipe: Chipotle-Inspired Lunch Bowl

Recipe: Chipotle-Inspired Lunch Bowl
April 1, 2022Plate MethodRecipes

This copycat Chipotle lunch bowl is a great option for a fast weekday lunch or a quick weeknight dinner. The concept incorporates a variety of colorful non-starchy vegetables, energizing carbohydrates from the black beans, protein-packed chicken, and healthy fats from the guacamole to provide a well-rounded, nutrient-dense meal.

The best part about this recipe is how customizable it is. Check out the swaps listed below to craft a fabulous meal to suit your taste buds. If you’re a fan of leftovers or are rocking the meal prep game, the ingredients can easily be doubled or tripled for multiple servings. Enjoy the flavors of fast and fresh southwestern cuisine from the comfort of your own kitchen!

Our favorite thing about lunch bowls is that the customization options are limitless!  Check out our Mix n’ Match Meal Planning Handout for more inspiration.
