Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

While the cauliflower rice cooks, cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces.

In the same skillet, heat the remaining olive oil over medium-high heat. Add seasoned chicken and cook for about 7-10 minutes or until fully cooked, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Add the chopped chipotle peppers and any extra adobo sauce to the chicken. Stir to mix well. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mash the avocado and mix it with lime juice and a pinch of salt to make guacamole.

Step 7

To assemble the burrito bowls, place a layer of cauliflower rice at the bottom of each bowl. Top with a portion of chipotle chicken.
