Sautéed in a bit of oil, shredded sweet potato cooks in a flash and is a lower-carb alternative to rice in these nutritionally charged burrito-style bowls. Employ a box grater to shred your orange spuds—or make quick work of it with a shredding blade on a food processor. You can use chicken you've cooked yourself, or press the easy button and bring home a rotisserie bird from the supermarket.
