@heathk4 My family does burritos/bowls frequently. We get the big bag of rice, cans of beans and bulk chicken from Costco. We add some salsa, onion and Greek yogurt ( as sour cream sub). Since we eat it a few times a week and just switch up the seasoning flavors, it's pretty cost effective and hits our macro goals.
