  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 cup long-grain white rice (or brown rice)
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 lb chicken breast (or tofu for a vegetarian option)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– 1 cup corn (fresh or frozen)
– 1 bell pepper, diced
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 avocado, sliced
– ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
– ½ cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
– Fresh cilantro, chopped
– Lime wedges for serving
– Salt and pepper to taste


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!
