A delicious and easy-to-make barbecue chicken bowl with charred corn, jalapeño lime crema, and chips topped with fresh chives, lime wedges and radishes.
I absolutely love anything in a bowl recently. Not talking about soup anymore. We are talking if it was once in a burrito, taco, sandwich then it’s gonna be killer in a bowl topped with more veggies and less carb-y foods. Don’t get me wrong, I still add in carbs just not so much. That in a nutshell is the tastiest meal for me these days. Whaddya think??
This meal is screaming HELLOOO SPRING!!
It’s so simple and yet so satisfying. No fighting anyone else over the best chips smothered in all the good stuff. Nope, just you and your beautiful bowl of nachos. Just the way it should be. Did I just take it a little too far? Maybe.
But hey I think I deserve my own chicken nacho bowl once in awhile. After all, I share my bed with three kids most nights…
my tall glass of peach tea is a free for all…
and I have even been sharing my makeup with a 3 year-old lately.
All that sharing calls for my own chicken nacho bowl!!
You with me on this?! I hope so.
I really love these bowls for dinner. They have tons of flavor and crunch to make me feel like I am eating something substantial. And yet they are perfect for lunch too. The reason is this: I stand at our kitchen island to eat lunch.
Feeding a 3 and 4 year-old lunch seems pretty straightforward. You fill their little plates up and they eat them, right? Ha! I am a mom turned waitress once those two sit down to eat lunch. Mom, I need juice. Mom, I need goldfish. Mom…mom….mom…MOM! I need peanut butter on a spoon, but I also need another spoon for my applesauce. This is all very real. The funny thing is I can’t help but smile every time they sit down for lunch because I can pretty much “call” the next thing that’s coming out of each of their mouths.
So, for that reason I stand to eat my lunch. And this chicken nacho bowl is the perfect dish for that! But it’s great for those sit-down dinners as well!!!
