This simple Mexican Chicken and Halloumi Burrito Bowl is perfect as it can make a lot, and you may have it for lunches a couple of days a week. Plus, you only need to pack a fork and have access to a microwave to reheat it!
This Mexican Chicken and Halloumi Burrito Bowl dish is effortless, packed with flavour, and gets many veggies and solid protein and fats. I had this for lunch with half an avocado on the side, and it was perfect. It can be garnished with lemon juice to lift the flavours. I’d highly recommend it! It also works well as a quick dinner!
