Notes
- Prepare the bowls ahead for meal prep; store assembled or in separate components in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Freeze without the Yumm Sauce for up to 3 months to maintain texture quality.
- Substitute chicken with tofu or tempeh, and use your preferred taco seasoning brand or homemade mix.
- Use canned or freshly cooked black beans; other beans like chickpeas or pinto are alternative options.
- Swap brown rice with white rice or premade minute rice for quicker preparation.
- Enhance the bowl with extras like guacamole, corn, or tortilla chips according to taste.
- To melt cheese fully in the bowl, warm the rice briefly in the microwave before adding cheese.
