1. Begin by preparing the vegan chicken strips. In a bowl, toss the strips with olive oil, chipotle powder, salt, and pepper until well coated.
2. Heat a pan over medium heat and add the seasoned vegan chicken strips. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
3. While the chicken strips are cooking, prepare the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper and chop the fresh cilantro. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and cut it into slices. Cut the lime into wedges.
4. In a medium saucepan, warm the corn kernels and black beans (drained and rinsed) over low heat for about 5 minutes until heated through.
5. To assemble the bowls, start with a base of cooked brown rice in each serving bowl.
6. Arrange the prepared vegan chicken strips, black beans, corn, and diced red bell pepper around the rice.
7. Top each bowl with slices of avocado, a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, and a lime wedge on the side for squeezing over the top for added freshness.
8. Adjust salt and pepper to taste if necessary before serving.
9. Serve your Vegan Chicken Chipotle Bowls immediately and enjoy!
