Heated burrito bowl with cilantro and lime
A frozen burrito bowl builds into dinner with the barest help. The sauce is already there, the rice is cooked, and all you need is cilantro and a lime to make it feel like more than it is.

To buy
- one small bunch cilantro
- one lime
From your shelf
- one 10-ounce package burrito bowl
Staples
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- Heat the burrito bowl in a microwave for the time the label recommends, usually about eight minutes, stirring halfway through. While it heats, roughly chop enough cilantro to give you two tablespoons, and cut the lime into two wedges.
- Divide the heated bowl between two plates. Squeeze half the lime juice over each portion, scatter the cilantro across both, and finish with a pinch of salt and pepper to your taste.
Note Swap the lime for hot sauce if you have it; a squeeze of hot sauce works just as well. Leftovers keep for three days in the fridge and reheat in a covered bowl in the microwave. Serve with crumbled feta cheese or a dollop of sour cream if you want to stretch it.
