Instructions
Making Chipotle Burrito Bowls is simple and straightforward. Follow these easy steps:
1. Cook the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water. In a medium saucepan, combine rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
2. Prepare the Chicken: While the rice is cooking, season the chicken with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until fully cooked. Remove from heat and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
3. Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the diced bell pepper and corn. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the peppers are tender. Remove from heat.
4. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of rice. Top with black beans, sautéed vegetables, sliced chicken (or tofu), and cherry tomatoes.
5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, followed by avocado slices and a dollop of sour cream. Finish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice.
6. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your homemade Chipotle Burrito Bowls while they are fresh and warm!
