Ingredients

• 2 pieces (boneless, skinless) Chicken breast
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 can (15 oz) Black beans
• 2 cups Cooked white rice
• 1 cup (cooked or canned, drained) Corn kernels
• 1 medium (diced) Red bell pepper
• 1 cup (halved) Cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups (chopped) Romaine lettuce
• 1 unit (juiced) Lime
• 2 units (ripe) Avocado
• 0.5 small (finely chopped) Red onion
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
• 1 small (seeded and diced) Jalapeño
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 0.5 cup (shredded) Cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Season the chicken breasts with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Rub the spices evenly over all sides.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are nicely browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 3

While the chicken rests, prepare the guacamole. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with a fork. Stir in lime juice, chopped red onion, cilantro, and diced jalapeño. Adjust the seasoning with salt to taste.

Step 4

Drain and rinse the black beans, then add them to a small pot. Heat over medium heat until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine cooked rice, black beans, corn, diced red bell pepper, and halved cherry tomatoes.

Step 6

To assemble the burrito bowls, divide the chopped romaine lettuce evenly amongst four bowls.

Step 7

Top each serving of lettuce with the rice and bean mixture, slices of chicken, a generous scoop of guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 8

Serve immediately, with lime wedges on the side if desired for an extra citrusy kick.
