Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 whole lime
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 cup white rice
- 1 can black beans
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 medium tomatoes
- 1 small red onion
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 whole avocado
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle in adobo sauce, olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.
2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, ideally 1 hour.
3. While the chicken is marinating, rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to package instructions with a pinch of salt.
4. Once the rice is cooked, mix in the juice of 1 lime and finely chopped cilantro. Set aside.
5. Drain and rinse black beans. In a small saucepan, heat them over low heat with a pinch of cumin until warmed through.
6. Dice the tomatoes and chop the red onion to prepare the fresh salsa. Combine them in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste.
7. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook thoroughly, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.
8. To assemble the burrito bowls, place a portion of cilantro lime rice into each bowl.
9. Top with grilled chicken, a spoonful of black beans, fresh salsa, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
10. Garnish with additional cilantro if desired, and serve immediately.
