Ingredients – What You Need

  • Chicken Broth

Additional Toppings

If you want this more burrito bowl style, you can definitely serve it with shredded Monterrey Jack or cheddar cheese, diced Roma tomatoes, diced jalapeños, diced avocados and sour cream.

I served mine with avocados and loved it but it’s also amazing just as it is. I also want to try it with minute brown rice next time (then I’d just add 5 minutes to the resting period as listed on the package).
