Chipotle Lime Chicken Quinoa Bowls, get in my belllllllly. Says me, every meal of every day.

I’ve been on a major bowl kick lately. I love being able to throw a bunch of delicious things in a bowl and call it a day. Especially when little cooking time is involved. These bowls are loaded with juicy, flavorful chipotle lime chicken skewers, hummus, quinoa, romaine, grilled zucchini slices, avocado, red bell pepper, and lime wedges. Easy enough, right?

The hummus adds the perfect touch of creaminess to the dish and my all-time fave Chipotle paste adds just the right amount of kick. I was also majorly inspired by our gal What’s Gaby Cookin to make these bowls.. I love love love her Chicken Tawook Bowls, so why not put a little twisty twist on it?

Feel free to put your own twist on these as well! Just let your creative juices flowwww!

These are of course perfect for dinner, but would also be great for lunches! Enjoy!!
