Chicken Ropa Vieja Burrito Bowl

My favorite blog to look at is Gina's Skinny Recipes. She posts unique, healthy, and delicious meals. Plus she shares the weight watcher's point values so I can know if I should be making the meal or not. I've tried several of her recipes so far, but this here is one of my favorites: Chicken Ropa Vieja.
