SUBSTITUTIONS

• Sub for fire roasted crushed tomatoes: regular crushed tomatoes will work

• Sub for chipotle powder: chili powder

• Dairy free: use guacamole as the topping instead of the crema

• Whole30: serve with cauliflower rice instead of rice and guacamole instead of the crema

LAZY VERSION

• Skip the crema and just serve with plain greek yogurt or sour cream as a topping instead!

• Use a microwave rice packet.

STORAGE

• Allow everything to come to room temp and then store in airtight containers. I like using these containers to keep the toppings separate from the chicken and rice.

• Store the crema separately. I like using these containers.

REHEATING

• Remove the chicken and rice from your meal prep container and add to a bowl. Reheat for 1-2 minutes, stirring halfway through. Then add on the crema and any toppings.

REDUCE FOOD WASTE

• Leftover cilantro? Store it like a bouquet of flowers in a mason jar in your fridge.

• Leftover avocado? Add on as a topping! Or use for avocado toast for a snack.

• Leftover greek yogurt? Add it to a smoothie for a protein boost!

• Leftover onion? Save it! Put it in a ziploc, or better yet, buy one of these reusable onion saver things. Use the rest of the onion for another recipe later this week or next.
