What Makes This Recipe So Good
Inspired by my egg roll in a bowl, this Southwestern version is the perfect easy and fast dinner your whole family will go crazy for! Pieces of tender chicken with black beans, corn, veggies, and crazy good seasoning make this healthy bowl out of this world good. This flavorful recipe only takes about 30 minutes to whip up, so it’s great for weeknights (or meal prep).
Ingredients
Chicken – Chicken gives bulk and protein to this egg roll in a bowl.Coleslaw mix – No need to shred cabbage for this bowl! Coleslaw mix adds a tang to the egg roll in a bowl inexpensively and easily.Black beans – Soft and mildly flavored, these beans add more protein and a bit of salty flavor.Corn – What’s a good Southwestern egg roll without corn? Sweet and crunchy, corn pairs perfectly with the salty and spicy flavors of the other ingredients.Spinach – Cooked spinach adds a robust flavor, perfectly complementing the sweet and salty flavors of the other veggies.Red bell pepper – The ripest of all the bell peppers, red bell peppers are sweet, crunchy, and add a slightly fruity taste to the bowl.Avocado – Avocados add the perfect rich, fresh taste with a buttery texture.Green onions – Mild and crunchy, green onions add another layer of texture and taste to the veggies.Ranch dressing – Ranch mixed with avocado is creamy, tangy, and the perfect topping.Jalapeños – We like a couple of jalapeños on top of our bowl to spice things up. You can leave them out entirely if you like, or remove the seeds for just a bit of heat.
