One Skillet Burrito Bowl

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Quick and Easy 21 Day Fix One Skillet Burrito Bowl that gets dinner on the table in under 30 minutes! Now updated with WW Freestyle points!

Confession #76 – I, too, have a hard time with consistent weekly meal prep.

While I am a huge fan of meal prep, I also understand the reality of our busy lives and it’s just not always possible, is it?

It’s ok.  You are not alone.

Step 3 One Skillet Mexican Burrito Bowl

And while I firmly believe meal planning and prep are one of the key components of success on the 21 Day Fix, having easy, one skillet meals in your arsenal,  like this one, is going to help you.  A lot.

One Skillet Burrito Bowl

Who doesn’t love a burrito bowl?  My whole family ate this, and I just kept some without cheese for my dairy free/gluten free son and he gobbled it up, too.  What’s also awesome is the rice cooks right in the skillet – no need to use a different pot or cook ahead of time.  And easy prep and easy clean-up makes this one, like last week’s recipe, a no brainer for a busy weeknight.  Done and done.

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Description

Quick and Easy One Skillet Burrito Bowl that gets dinner on the table in under 30 minutes!


Ingredients

Scale
  • olive oil cooking spray
  • 2 bell peppers, diced
  • 1lb lean ground meat (I used ground turkey)
  • 1 (14.5oz) can of diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup of quick cook brown rice (I LOVE Aldi organic)
  • 1 cup of organic low sodium chicken stock or broth
  • 1/4 cup of black beans
  • 1/4 cup of corn
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 2/3 cup of cheese
  • fresh cilantro
  • chopped green onion

Instructions

  1. Coat a pan with olive oil spray and saute meat until cooked through.
  2. Add peppers and diced tomatoes to pan and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  3. Next add rice, broth, beans, corn and spices. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer covered for 15-20 minutes (or follow directions on your rice) until rice is cooked through.
  4. Remove from heat, add cheese, and cover again for 5 minutes.
  5. Adjust seasonings to taste. Top with fresh cilantro, green onion, and serve!
  6. This would also be yummy with olives, fresh lime, avocado, and plain Greek yogurt if you have any on hand!

Notes

21 Day Fix: 1 RED, 1 GREEN, 1 YELLOW, 1/2 BLUE per serving

WW Freestyle: 4 points per serving- using 99% ground turkey

  • Serving Size: 1/4 of skillet

      Oops!!! This is not supposed to be on that list…but I do have several Mexican Style recipes that use Zucchini…need help finding one? And PS – you could totally add some diced zucchini to this dish if you wanted to :).

    I despise beans (all of them!) can I omit or use more corn or rice for my yellow?

      Sure! Use more corn!

    I want to do this for my lunch for the week. I’m on the 1,800 calorie. How would I count this and measure to put in containers for lunch?

    Can you sub cauliflower for the rice? would there be a difference in the amount used?

    Reply

      January 2, 2019 at 2:55 pm

      Sure! I have a recipe in the works for that…but, yes, you could use as much cauli rice as you want and you wouldn’t use the broth. It will come together very quick!

    My kids, 2 and 4, and husband (against anything remotely healthy) actually ate this and no one complained or picked anything out!! It was so easy and “fun” to make!! I am by far not the best cook, but the directions were so easy to follow and everything turned out perfectly! I love how “simple” your recipes are!

    This was delicious! My husband had no clue this was a “healthy” dinner. Amazing flavors. I learned something new too….quick cooking rice isn’t the same as instant rice 🙂 Mine was soupy, but I know for next time!

      Hi! Yes – they are different, but I should update this with cook times for all different kinds of rice! So glad it was a hit anyway!
