25) Chicken Burrito Bowls

Fresh, filling, and a little smoky from the cumin and chili powder. My favorite thing about burrito bowls is that everyone builds their own, which means nobody argues about what's touching what. I cook the chicken and put all the toppings in the middle of the table. They do the rest.
