Healthy Burrito Bowl in 20 Minutes

Hi Everyone! Today is a great day to start a blog, don’t you think? I’m so excited to become your partner in style and to begin this journey with you! Whether you’re interested in cooking, home decor, travel, fashion or fitness, you won’t want to miss what’s happening here!

Because this is our first post together, I thought I would start with something to embodies who I am and what I’m all about and that is ease. While I like putting forth the extra time and effort, sometimes that’s just not realistic with working two jobs and trying to maintain somewhat of a social life. So on this page, you’ll find all sorts of time-savers and quick tips to help all aspects of your life remain effortlessly styled.

With that in mind, I have to join food bloggers all over the world by singing the praises of my new, kitchen BFF. Meet Instant Pot. This may seem dramatic, but I’m not exaggerating when I say that this machine has changed my life! For those of you out there who have heard of this magic-making kitchen device, but remain skeptical, you must try this thing. To prove to you how Instant Pot differs from any other on-trend, small appliance, I have quite possibly the easiest, quickest, meal prep you’ll ever come across. So let’s get started, shall we?

Joe and I heading to a wedding this afternoon and we needed something quick and easy for lunch before getting out the door. We also know that due to being gone all day, time for meal prep for the week is at a premium, so we wanted to get a jump on it. I opened the refrigerator and had no protein thawed and ready to make. Typically, this would lead to either grabbing a bowl of cereal or heading out to eat. But thanks to my sweet angel, Instant Pot, I know I can grab a couple pounds of frozen chicken and be done with this task in no time! We decided to make chicken tacos knowing that the prepped chicken would come in major handy all week long.

What’s hilarious is that Joe is actually terrified of the Instant Pot and needed a crash course so that he could tackle this task without fear of losing limbs.

Because we are in a major hurry mode today, I literally used 3 ingredients: Chicken, taco seasoning and salsa. That’s it. I often make my own seasoning with a mix of spices you can find at the end of this post, but alas, time was of the essence. Now for the step by step:

At this point you have options! Throw the chicken over some rice and add your favorite toppings for a burrito bowl, throw it in a shell for tacos, or just over a salad for a taco salad!

Joe and I did a low carb version of the burrito bowl and swapped out the rice for riced cauliflower and added our favorite toppings. It came out like this:
