This BLW Burrito Bowl is a delicious, balanced dinner perfect for babies from 6 months, with just a few simple tweaks to suit their stage of development.

Directions

Coat the chicken in paprika and either roast or steam until cooked and still moist.
Whilst the chicken is cooking, steam the sweet potato until soft enough to squish between two fingers. Drizzle the capsicum in a little extra virgin olive oil and bake until softened (optional to remove skin after cooking)
Using a fork, mash the red kidney beans, black beans and corn into a thick paste (so no loose pieces as this can be a choking risk). Mix together with the rice and passata.
Serve the BLW burrito bowl with the chicken, rice and bean mixture, cooked vegetables and smashed avocado.

Recipe Note

Suitable from 6 months and signs of readiness for solids
When serving for 6 month old bub, ensure all chicken and vegetables are cut into thick strips/chunks for them to be able to grab and bring to their mouth. Chicken can be poached, roasted or steamed to ensure it remains moist and not too dry. Vegetable pieces should be cooked to the point that you can squish with your thumb and index finger.
Once bub is around 9 months and has developed or is practicing their pincer grip, you can serve the chicken and vegetables in smaller pieces. Avoid serving loose corn kernels until 12 months of age.
Compared to a 12 month old or adult version of burrito bowl, serve bub a deconstructed meal with larger pieces. The family meal can include loose beans and corn, and smaller sized vegetables.
