Why is it everything made in a bowl just seems easier?!? I made these super simple taco bowls in about 10 minutes. While I browned the ground chicken, I microwaved my rice and corn and then just added pico, lettuce, and avocado! So simple but so easy, and I love getting fiber from the corn and healthy fats from the avocado!
