Change up your taco Tuesday and make these easy trim healthy mama energizing chicken burrito bowls. These bowls are so refreshing and delicious and so easy because they are made in an Instant Pot.

This recipe is different from my other Instant Pot chicken taco bowl recipe. This one is so light and refreshing. It is such a perfect meal on a hot day, it really hits the spot. I also cook the rice separately in this recipe. There are some similarities in the recipes but enough differences that you could serve these in the same week and your family wouldn’t think they were similar.

If you need something light and refreshing, this Instant Pot recipe is it. It doesn’t leave you feeling heavy, it is dairy free and family friendly. I struggle with THM E meals in my diet. Breakfast is easy and lunch isn’t too hard to find good E meals but dinner is a struggle. My family really likes S meals for dinner but this one was a hit.
