Lunch time meal prep does not have to be super complicated to be delicious and healthy. Using things like precooked beans, grains, and buying a rotisserie chicken are some of my favorite shortcuts to simple meals. This bowl comes together with an easy cilantro-lime yogurt sauce that you will not be able to resist! This recipe is perfect for preparing ahead of a busy week and portioning them out as needed.
