Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken (Use rotisserie chicken for speed.)
  • 1 cup red enchilada sauce (Choose sauce with minimal added sugar.)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  2. Scramble the eggs gently in a separate non-stick pan until just softly set.
  3. Assemble the bowls by dividing the chicken mixture into four containers, then topping with fluffy scrambled eggs, black beans, and corn.
