Chicken & Black Bean Burrito Bowl

The highest-fiber lunch in this collection. Black beans are exceptional for blood sugar stabilization.

Ingredients

• 5 oz grilled chicken breast, sliced
• ½ cup black beans (rinsed canned)
• ¼ cup brown rice or cauliflower rice
• ½ cup salsa (fresh pico de gallo is best)

¼ avocado, cubed

• 2 tbsp plain Greek yogurt (as sour cream sub)
• Lime juice
• Cilantro
• Cumin, salt, pepper

Directions

Warm chicken and rice in microwave if desired.

1. Season black beans with cumin, salt, and lime juice in a small bowl.
2. Build the bowl: rice base → black beans → chicken → salsa → avocado.
3. Add Greek yogurt as a sour cream substitute on top.
4. Finish with lime squeeze, cilantro, and extra hot sauce if desired.

Notes

Plain Greek yogurt is nutritionally identical to sour cream in this application but has 15× more protein per tablespoon. Black beans + brown rice together form a complete protein — useful if increasing plant-based meals.
