Photo by Jennifer Rice The irresistible pairing of spiced lime chicken makes this naked burrito bowl as sexy to the palate as the name suggests. It's full of nutrients, flavors and colors. Add to it some roasted tomato salsa and you have yourself a perfect meal ! A few adjustments to this tasty combination will compliment those of you on a high protein diet... just leave the rice at home and double up on the black beans and chicken.
Did You Know...
One-cup of black beans is nearly 15 grams of fiber, that is over half of the recommended daily intake of fiber equivalent to the amount of protein in 2 ounces of most meats or fish like salmon. Add some zest to your life by adding this incredi-bowl to your diet. Enjoy!
