📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes or until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

2. In a small bowl, mix the plant-based chicken strips with the chipotle in adobo sauce until well coated.

3. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil. Once hot, add the chipotle-coated plant-based chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are heated through and slightly crispy. Remove from heat.

4. In a small mixing bowl, combine sour cream, lime juice, garlic powder, and black pepper. Stir until smooth to create a creamy lime sauce.

5. To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the cooked brown rice among four serving bowls.

6. Top each portion of rice with equal parts of cooked black beans, corn kernels, and prepared plant-based chicken strips.

7. Add sliced cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and thinly sliced red onion on top of each bowl.

8. Garnish each bowl with a dollop of the creamy lime sauce and a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves.

9. Serve immediately and enjoy your hearty vegetarian chipotle chicken burrito bowls!
