Recipe Notes
Chicken Burrito Bowls Storage Instructions
Store portions in airtight containers and place them in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 3 months. If freezing, I don’t recommend putting on the sour cream or lime avocado. These can be stored in separate containers and served on the side.
Chicken Burrito Bowls Reheating Instructions
This recipe can be eaten both hot and cold. If you’re reheating it, remove the sour cream and lime avocado and heat gently until hot throughout (see above note). The pico de gallo can also be eaten hot or cold. As for reheating, I recommend doing so in the microwave, in bursts, and until hot throughout.
