• Shredded Chicken (1 cup): Rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe as does any leftover cooked chicken. It provides the main protein in the bowl.
• Fire Roasted Salsa (1/2 cup): Provides the spicy, tangy, smoky, tomato flavor to the chicken. Feel free to add more if you like your chicken saucier.
• Cooked Rice (1/2 cup): Rice, farro, and quinoa are all great choices. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
• Frozen Corn (1/2 cup, thawed): Provides sweetness, a pop of color, and a nice texture contrast to the chicken and rice.
• Black Beans (1/2 cup, rinsed): Any type of cooked bean or lentil will work well in the bowl. They add extra protein and heart-healthy fiber to the bowl.
• Diced Red Onion (1/4 cup): Adds a pop of color and a peppery zest to the dish.
• Avocado (1/2): Adds healthy fat and additional creamy goodness to the bowl.
• Pico de Gallo (1/2 cup): The acidic and tangy combination of onions, tomato, cilantro, and lime juice creates the perfect zesty accompaniment to the bowl, adding depth of flavor to this Tex-Mex bowl.
• Cilantro (2 tablespoons): Provides a bright, fresh, and citrusy contrast to the heavier, savory chicken and beans.
• Daisy Sour Cream (½ cup): Brings a creamy, tangy balance to every bite, mellowing out spicy, smoky flavors while adding a rich, smooth texture. Its subtle tang brightens the dish, creating a fresh, refreshing contrast that ties all the ingredients together beautifully.
• Lime Wedges: Adds a burst of acidity and provides a bright contrast to rich, savory ingredients.
• Jalapenos: Add an additional touch of fresh, bright heat. Fresh or pickled work well with fresh tending to be hotter.

• Any type of cooked meat will work great in this recipe. Chicken, brisket, ground beef, shrimp, or fish are all great options.
• For a plant-based protein alternative, try adding toasted tofu or additional beans or lentils.
• Any type of salsa or picante works great to add a little tomatoey zest to the protein. Feel free to use whatever you have on hand.
• The protein may be served cold or heated to your preference.
• Any type of cooked grain works great for burrito bowls to add fiber and to give you extra energy.
• Cauliflower rice is also a great choice if you’d prefer a lighter option.
• Pico de Gallo can be found in the produce section of your local grocer.
• If you’d rather make fresh Pico de Gallo, you can mix 3-4 diced Roma tomatoes, ½ cup diced onion, 1/3 cup chopped cilantro, and the juice from 1 lime. Add a sprinkle of salt and let set in the refrigerator to blend flavors for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.
• Sauteed bell peppers and onions make a great fajita-type addition.
• Chopped lettuce and halved cherry tomatoes may be used as a base instead of rice for a salad option instead of a bowl.
• Fresh Guacamole may be used in place of avocado.
• Shredded cheese such as cheddar or Colby-Jack are great additions.
• Hot sauce or additional jalapenos may be added for those who like their bowls with more heat.
