This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I'll use less chili powder next time.

I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a disaster! The rice was undercooked, the chicken was dry, and the dressing was watery. I won't be making this again.

I loved the idea of this recipe, but I found it to be a bit too time-consuming. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time. Maybe some cumin or paprika.

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro, so I omitted it from this recipe. It was still delicious! I added a bit of extra lime juice and avocado to make up for the lack of cilantro.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for me, but I still enjoyed it. I think next time I'll use less chili powder or maybe add some sour cream to balance out the heat.

I've made this recipe a few times now and it's always a hit! The flavors are incredible and it's so easy to make. I love that you can prep it ahead of time and just grab it and go for lunch.

This burrito bowl in a mason jar was a great idea for a quick and easy lunch! I loved that I could customize it with my favorite ingredients. The dressing was flavorful and tied everything together perfectly.
