Burrito Mason Jar Salad Fact: Burritos are delicious. Another fact: They aren't exactly good for your waistline, thanks to giant tortillas and toppings like sour cream and cheese. This slimmed-down (but still delicious) burrito bowl salad in a jar recipe will satisfy your cravings without sending you into a post-lunch food coma.

Makes five servings

Ingredients:

3 cups cooked quinoa
2 cooked chicken breasts
1 large sweet potato, cut into small chunks
3 cups chopped lettuce
5 tbsp Greek yogurt
3/4 cup shredded cheese
1/2 cup fresh cilantro
1 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp lime juice

Directions:

Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sweet potatoes and sear on all sides. Reduce heat to medium low and cook until fork-tender. Let cool.

Toss the quinoa with the lime juice, lime zest and 1/4 cup cilantro.

Put 1 tablespoon of Greek yogurt at the bottom of each mason jar. Add two tablespoons of sweet potatoes, followed by 3-4 tablespoons of quinoa then 1-2 tablespoons cheese. Pack the rest of the jar with lettuce, seal it and refrigerate.
