Ingredients

• 1 cup Brown rice
• 2 cups Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 8 ounces Plant-based chicken strips
• 1 tablespoon Chipotle in adobo sauce
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Cooked black beans
• 1 cup Corn kernels
• 0.5 cup Sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Lime juice
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 1 whole Avocado
• 0.5 cup Red onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 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.

Step 2

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

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

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