Thighs are juicier and more flavorful; tofu is a budget-friendly protein.

white rice

🥗Healthier: brown rice

💰Cheaper: quinoa

Brown rice has more fiber; quinoa is often cheaper and gluten-free.

sour cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cottage cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and higher in protein; cottage cheese is often less expensive.

Add 1 pound of boneless skinless chicken breasts to the crock pot.

Pour in 1 14.5 ounce can of petite diced tomatoes.

Add chicken broth, just enough to cover the chicken.

Season with 1.5 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of chili powder, and 0.5 teaspoons each of garlic powder and onion powder.

Place the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for 4 hours.

After 4 hours, remove the lid and add in 1 cup of white or brown rice.

Add 1 15 ounce can of black beans, making sure to drain and rinse them first.

Add 1 cup of frozen corn and mix everything well.

Place the lid back on and cook for an additional 3 to 4 hours, stirring once or twice to ensure even cooking of the rice, adding more chicken broth if needed.

Check the rice about the last hour of cooking; it’s done when tender.

Once done, use a wooden spoon to shred the chicken in the crock pot.

Top the burrito bowls with shredded cheese, chopped cilantro, diced green onions, and sour cream. Avocados can also be added if desired.
