– Dinner serving: Instead of portioning the recipe into containers, serve Santa Fe chicken with a portion of the bean and rice mixture, and consider adding steamed vegetables or a green salad on the side for an extra dose of fiber.
– Tacos: Slice the chicken and use it as a filling for tortillas or tacos, complemented with toppings like sour cream, avocado, or fresh cilantro to enhance the flavors.
– Burrito bowl salad: Combine the rice mixture with chopped lettuce, topping it with chicken to create a hearty and high-protein salad. For some added crunch, feel free to include tortilla chips.
Storage and Reheating
Storage: Prepared bowls or leftovers can be cooled completely and then stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing: Allow the bowls to cool completely and then store individual portions in airtight containers for up to 3 months. If freezing, omit the lime wedges, adding them when ready to eat.
