Hola!

The other day my brother Nathan, who just moved to Minneapolis (whohoo), came over for dinner. It wasn’t until 30 minutes before he came over that I realized, “oh yeah, my brother is coming over.”

A typical dinner for us is throwing whatever is in the fridge into a pan and calling it a day. I rarely have time to plan out my meals as much as I know it would help, let’s be real, it just doesn’t happen.

We LOVE Mexican food. That and pizza are two things I could have for every meal and never get sick of it.

I also LOVE Crisp & Greens. It’s a healthy spot Jon and I like to go to a couple blocks from the gym. They have salads, bowls, kombucha on tap?!?!

Yeah, I know.

I’m definitely one to choose the healthier foods even if it means paying a couple bucks more. That’s always been worth it to me. It beats being sick, and spending money on trying to get better.

However the $12 per bowl was just adding up considering I know all the employees by name, their favorite food, plus their weekend plans. I figured I needed a Crisp & Greens break.

That led me to my own Fiesta Bowl. It’s extremely easy and even better left over – that makes it perfect for the busy bee that you are. The secret sauce to making this amazing is Bolthouse Farms Avocado Cilantro Yogurt Sauce. Unreal – a must with this dish.

I hope you enjoy! Please let me know if you try this Fiesta Bowl.

+ enjoy Vlog .03! A little behind the scenes to my Fiesta Bowl.

Fiesta Bowl

This is a meal that I threw together with no actual measurements. I think that’s the best way to cook! So do as you know best or follow along in the video below to see how I do things. You really can’t mess up.

serving: 4,  unless you’re me and Jon, then 2

ingredients: 

• 2 cups brown rice
• 3 boneless & skinless chicken breasts
• 1 bell pepper
• 1/2 yellow or red onion

seasonings & toppings:

• Chicago Steak Seasoning this kind
• Mrs. Dash

• Salsas
• Guacamole
• Black Beans

directions: 

• Prepare brown rice (I use 4 cups chicken stock – 2 cups uncooked rice in a rice cooker)
• While rice is cooking, prepare a large skillet on medium heat with ghee & olive oil
• Chop chicken into bite size pieces and add to pan
• Add a sprinkle of salt, pepper, steak seasoning, and mrs. dash to chicken. Once cooked all the way through, remove from pan
• Chop the pepper and onion fajita style and sauté in a little olive oil. Sprinkle salt, pepper, mrs. dash and 2 minced garlic gloves

• I would highly recommend the Cilantro – Avocado dressing!
