How About a Southwestern Meal Everyone Will Enjoy

Taco or Chicken Burrito Bowls

This recipe is great served just over the rice or rolled up in some soft tortillas like a burrito filled with your favorites. One friend even suggested serving it in hard taco shells as taco filling because it is packed full of good ingredients for a hearty, filling meal.
 
I love to make this one in advance, and put it in either single serve dishes or in a large casserole. Then slice and dice all your fresh produce in advance, too, and this way, you can re-heat the casserole in the evening or the next day for an easy meal for lunch or dinner. What a perfect recipe for those times when you are running around with little time to cook, or for early prep and serve on Sabbath with family. Plus, single servings means people can heat theirs when they are ready and dress it up however they like.

A perfect meal for a summer evening with some fresh vegetables harvested and chopped from your survival garden or produce stand. This one is also great served in soft tortillas or our Gluten Free Naan Bread. Even a side of fresh, hot cornbread would go nicely.
