Copy Cat Cava Grains Bowl

Chicken: marinade in Greek yogurt (I had vanilla on hand and it was fine), paprika, pepper, chili flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, seasoned salt. Marinaded for a few hours

Pita chips: fry in peanut oil, toss in a bowl with salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano

Harissa vinaigrette: 10oz harissa, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tbsp oregano, 2 tbsp onion powder, 1 tbsp chili powder, 1/2 tbsp paprika, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 2 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp cayenne, 2 tsp cumin, dash of salt - mix together in a food processor & refrigerate

Rice: instant jasmine rice, cooked per box instructions on stovetop.

Avocado: half

Corn: frozen roasted corn, cooked per package instructions in oven. Sprinkle salt & pepper when done

I do like to add crispy wontons on top but I burnt mine!

I spend money on Cava at least once a week. Sometimes twice. And with the money I spend DoorDashing Cava every week, I could just do an Aldi order to recreate my Cava order at home. And it's quick! #cava #aldifinds #mealprep #aldirecipe #bowlmeals

these are super easy and convenient if you live far from Cava like i do🥲 $34.27 for all ingredients and most all of it you don’t have to repurchase. 1 sirloin makes me about 3 bowls and 1 cava order is usually $20. It tastes just as good and i’m obsessed!!
