Hey all! Sam back from The Culinary Compass. I’m here to bring you these perfectly spicy Chicken Enchilada Meal Prep Bowls!
I don’t know about you, but meal prep has been a huge help to me! It’s helped me with eating better, as a time saver, and financially so I know what I’m getting when I go to the store. No more going to the store hungry and getting whatever looks good.
I tried to keep these Chicken Enchilada Meal Prep Bowls as simple as possible as time is so limited on Sundays when I meal prep! I love getting to spend as much time with friends and family so cutting down on ingredients is a huge plus for me.
You can use your own blend of taco seasoning, but I prefer to just use the packets you can find in the store! I also use a red enchilada sauce which is a little spicy so feel free to use whatever fits your tastebuds! The verde and mild versions would both go great with this.
These are also flour tortillas, but you could try corn as well. Another option is to not put them in tortillas at all and bring them with you to make sure they’re as fresh as possible! If you’re looking to change it up, you could also put the filling on top of a salad or bring tortilla chips with you for some enchilada nachos!
