Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Brown rice
- 2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 cup Canned black beans
- 1 cup Fresh salsa
- 2 cups Shredded lettuce
- 0.5 cup Corn kernels
- 0.25 cup Chopped cilantro
- 1 medium Avocado
- 1 Lime
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by cooking the brown rice according to package instructions. Set aside once done.
While the rice is cooking, dice the chicken breasts into small bite-sized pieces.
In a large skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, and season with ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook until the chicken is thoroughly cooked, approximately 7-10 minutes.
In a separate small saucepan, add the black beans and corn kernels. Heat over low, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 5 minutes.
Peel and pit the avocado, then dice it into small pieces.
Cut the lime in half and squeeze the juice over the diced avocado to prevent browning and add a fresh flavor.
To assemble the naked burrito bowls, layer the cooked brown rice at the bottom of four serving bowls.
Top each bowl with equal portions of cooked chicken, black beans, corn, shredded lettuce, fresh salsa, and diced avocado.
Sprinkle chopped cilantro over each bowl for added flavor and garnish.
Serve immediately, enjoying your low-fat, flavorful naked burrito without the added carbs from a wrap!
