Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl

I’m so excited to share this Slow Cooker Chicken Burrito Bowl recipe with you guys. We have recently taken on the challenge of incorporating healthier meals into our menu every week.

Let me tell you when I say challenge, I mean it. My oldest boy loves food like his Mama does – the more cheese and sauce the better the recipe. I love him but it does make it difficult to cook healthier.

What I love about this recipe is that it can be eaten plain without any type of sour cream or in a tortilla or you can add those things to it. It really can go either way and it ended up being the perfect meal for our family.

I used white rice in the recipe because it’s what I had on hand but I’m sure that brown rice would be just as delicious. The recipe portion of the recipe gets added towards the end so that it doesn’t get too dried out. Be sure to follow the recipe!

When it comes to easy slow cooker recipes this chicken burrito bowl is a hands down winner with the ease of making and the amazing flavor that comes from the chicken cooking in the delicious taco seasoning all afternoon.

Keep it healthy without adding any toppings or splurge a little and add some sour cream and guacamole. I love that it can be eaten either way!
