Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons chipotle in adobo sauce
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 whole lime
• 1 bunch cilantro
• 1 cup white rice
• 1 can black beans
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium tomatoes
• 1 small red onion
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2 cloves garlic
• 1 whole avocado
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 1 cup cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

1. In a small bowl, mix the chipotle in adobo sauce, olive oil, the juice of 1 lime, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 2

2. Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces and place them in a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes, ideally 1 hour.

Step 3

3. While the chicken is marinating, rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to package instructions with a pinch of salt.

Step 4

4. Once the rice is cooked, mix in the juice of 1 lime and finely chopped cilantro. Set aside.

Step 5

5. Drain and rinse black beans. In a small saucepan, heat them over low heat with a pinch of cumin until warmed through.

Step 6

6. Dice the tomatoes and chop the red onion to prepare the fresh salsa. Combine them in a bowl, adding salt and pepper to taste.

Step 7

7. Heat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the marinated chicken and cook thoroughly, about 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally until browned and cooked through.

Step 8

8. To assemble the burrito bowls, place a portion of cilantro lime rice into each bowl.

Step 9

9. Top with grilled chicken, a spoonful of black beans, fresh salsa, diced avocado, a dollop of sour cream, and a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
