Notes

  • Serving Size This recipe makes enough for three 8-ounce jars. If you want a larger main meal, you can double the quantities and use pint-sized (16oz) jars, perhaps adding a layer of shredded lettuce or rice.
  • Temperature While these are kept in the fridge, letting the jar sit at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes before eating can help the flavors shine and soften the bean layer slightly.
  • Chips Do not put tortilla chips inside the jar as they will get soft. Pack them in a separate baggie if you want crunch.
Work Week Meal Prep This recipe as written makes three jars. If you are prepping for a full Monday through Friday work week, I recommend doubling the ingredient quantities. This yields six jars, which covers lunch for every workday plus one bonus jar for a quick weekend snack or an easy dinner.
