1. The Mexican Cauliflower Rice

The first step is to make the cauliflower rice. For these Low-Carb Mexican Meal Prep Bowls, we used our 30-Minute Mexican Cauliflower Rice Recipe! It’s easy to make and perfect for batch cooking.

Pro-tip: Save time by buying pre-made cauliflower rice and simply add in the spices to flavor it!

2. The chicken

There are several options for the chicken. Our favorite option is to use Free Range Organic Chicken from Butcher Box, (opens in a new tab) season and bake it, then shred it or cut it into small pieces and keep it on hand for these meal prep bowls!

Another option is to buy a pre-cooked roasted chicken from the grocery store or roast a chicken yourself. Either way, making it once and having it throughout the week is a wonderful way to save time!

3. The salad

The salad for this recipe is very simple: arugula and/or kale, avocado, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of salt and pepper. So easy!
