Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 can (15 oz) Black beans
- 2 cups Cooked white rice
- 1 cup (cooked or canned, drained) Corn kernels
- 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
- 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups (chopped) Romaine lettuce
- 1 unit (juiced) Lime
- 2 units (ripe) Avocado
- 0.5 small (finely chopped) Red onion
- 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
- 1 small (seeded and diced) Jalapeño
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Rub the spices evenly over all sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
While the chicken rests, prepare the guacamole. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Stir in lime juice, chopped red onion, cilantro, and diced jalapeño. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.
Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to a small pot. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes.
To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly amongst four bowls.
Top each serving of lettuce with the rice and bean mixture, slices of chicken, a generous scoop of guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Serve immediately, with lime wedges on the side if desired for an extra citrusy kick.
