How To Make a Healthy Burrito?

To kick off the recipe, create a flavourful Grilled Chicken Marinade. Combine lime juice, olive oil, cumin, paprika, and salt. Coat chicken evenly, letting it marinate for at least 30 minutes.

This step not only infuses delicious flavours but also tenderises the chicken, ensuring a juicy and mouthwatering result on the grill.

Better Rice Choices for More Flavour

Instead of plain white rice, I go for tastier options. I go for coconut and turmeric-infused rice for added flavour. Plus, I opt for brown rice for extra fibre, making the dish not only more delicious but also a lot healthier.

Wholesome Burrito Bowl Meal Prep Delight

This dish is a meal prep winner, offering a perfect balance of lean protein, wholesome grains, and vibrant veggies.

For optimal freshness, prepare the components in advance—marinate the chicken, cook the rice, and chop vegetables.

Assemble the bowl just before serving to maintain freshness. The dressing can be stored separately and added just before enjoying to keep the flavours at their best.
