I love the burrito bowls that are popular at some chain Mexican restaurants, but I recently realized how many calories are in each bowl. Just trust me when I tell you it is ridiculous. So, I decided to make my own Chicken Burrito Bowl at home for a fraction of the cost and calories. To cut some calories, I used plain Greek yogurt in place of sour cream. Not only does the yogurt add a punch of protein, but you don’t lost much in flavor, either. Give it a try! I’m all about making healthy switches.
Did you know that Tyson Foods, based in Arkansas, is the largest poultry processor in the United States?
