Notes
- Use leftover fillings in tacos or enchiladas
- You don't need to use chicken - any protein will work: chicken, steak, fish, tofu or even grilled halloumi
- You can use a store bought seasoning, but homemade is really easy
- There are no real rules - think of a burrito filling and just put it all in a bowl!
- You can serve these bowls warm or cold.
- For extra flavour, you can marinate the chicken in the spices and oil for a couple of hours.
