Start by draining and rinsing the can of black beans and setting them aside.
Slice the red bell pepper into thin strips and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the meatless chicken strips to the skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes until they are golden brown. Once cooked, set aside.
In the same skillet, add the second tablespoon of olive oil, followed by the sliced red bell pepper and corn. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the bell pepper is tender.
Stir in the black beans and chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.
To assemble the bowls, divide the cooked brown rice evenly into four serving bowls.
Top each bowl with the meatless chicken, sautéed mix of beans, corn, and peppers.
Slice the avocado and lay a few slices in each bowl, along with halved cherry tomatoes.
Squeeze lime juice over each bowl for a fresh zesty finish and garnish with chopped cilantro leaves.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and hearty Vegetarian Chicken Chipotle Bowl!
