Start by cooking the brown rice. Rinse 1 cup of brown rice under cold water. Add the rice and 2 cups of water to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30-35 minutes or until rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, drain and rinse the can of black beans. Set aside.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Slice the chicken breast into thin strips. In a bowl, combine chicken with chipotle powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat the chicken evenly.
Add the seasoned chicken to the heated skillet. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, stirring occasionally.
Once the chicken is cooked, add the drained black beans to the skillet, stirring to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the beans.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice.
Chop half of a red onion, dice one tomato, and roughly chop half a cup of cilantro.
Slice one avocado and set aside.
To assemble the burrito bowls, start by adding a base layer of cooked brown rice.
Top with the chicken and black bean mixture.
Add fresh corn kernels, chopped tomato, red onion, cilantro, and slices of avocado.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Chipotle Burrito Bowl.
