This post is brought to you by Hidden Valley Ranch®. I was in the mood for burritos so I made them. Minus the wraps and in a bowl. I actually prefer my burritos in a bowl so I can can load them up with veggies, avocado, black beans, and cheese, and not have to worry about my wrap breaking. This buffalo chicken burrito bowl is an easy recipe that’s ready in 15 minutes, making it perfect for busy weeknights or a quick lunch. The chicken is sautéed and coated with the new Hidden Valley Ranch Buffalo Salad Dressing®. It gives it so much flavor and helps the chicken stay tender and juicy. The chicken is nestled in bowls alongside my favorite burrito fixings, including Spanish rice, black beans, tomatoes, corn, topped with cheese, avocado, a squeeze of lime juice, and cilantro. You’re going to love how much flavor and texture is packed into one chicken burrito bowl.
