Description
Enjoy the vibrant flavors of Chipotle at home with these customizable Chicken Burrito Bowls, packed with healthy ingredients.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked rice (white or brown)
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- 1 cup shredded lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 avocado, sliced
- Sour cream (optional)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions
- Begin by mixing the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. This marinade will infuse the chicken with fantastic flavor. Place the chicken breasts in the marinade, ensuring they are coated well, and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
- Heat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until it’s cooked through and has a nice sear. Once done, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then shred or chop it into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large serving bowl, start layering your ingredients. Begin with the cooked rice at the bottom. Follow with a layer of black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes. Each layer adds color and texture, making your bowl look as good as it tastes.
- Top the assembled ingredients with shredded lettuce, the cooked chicken, and a generous handful of shredded cheese. Add avocado slices and, if desired, a dollop of sour cream. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro for an aromatic touch. Serve immediately for the best flavors.
Notes
For added flavor, allow the chicken to marinate for up to 2 hours. Store leftovers separately for freshness.
