Nathan loves Chipotle, so when we were eating a low calorie eating plan, he really missed the restaurant. Here is my response for an approximately 200 calorie alternative to the burrito bowls at Chipotle.
- About a cup of a stiff lettuce/green such as Romaine, spinach, or arugula
- 2 chicken breasts
- Salt & pepper
- Pico de Gallo Beans (see yesterday's post for the recipe)
- 1 large onion
- Canola or coconut oil in the spray can
Salt and pepper the chicken breasts. Cube the chicken. Peel and slice the onion.
Make your Pico de Gallo Beans. Heat the beans.
Heat a saute pan. Spray with some oil into the pan. Put the onions in the pan and give them a small spritz of oil. Cook the onions until translucent.
Add the cubed chicken breast. Spritz it with a small amount of the oil.
When the chicken and onions are deliciously done into grilled goodness, assemble your burrito bowl in this order:
- a generous bed of greens (the heat from the other food will tenderize the greens)
- add 1/2 cup of Pico de Gallo Beans (more if you are not concerned with a 200 calorie meal)
- add the grilled onions and chicken breasts
Serve and enjoy. You can also add various hot sauces and substitute flank steak for the chicken. Most of the calories for this meal are in the beans.
