Ingredients
For the Grilled Chicken –
- 1 ½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon chipotle chile powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper
For the Burrito Bowls – (All Ingredients are Optional)
- 1 ½ cup long grain rice
- 2 – 15 ounce cans black beans drained and warmed
- 15 ounce can sweet corn drained
- ¾ cup guacamole
- ¾ cup salsa any variety
- ¾ cup Pico de Gallo
- ¾ cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- ½ cup sour cream
- ½ cup shredded lettuce
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 lime cut into wedges
Instructions
For the Rice:
- Set out a 4-6 quart saucepot. Measure the rice into the pot. Then cook according to the package instructions. (Usually this means add 3 cups water, and cook covered for 15-20 minutes, until you see vent holes in the top of the rice.)
For the Chicken:
- Set out a baking dish and small bowl. In the bowl, mix all the spices with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon ground pepper.
- Place the chicken in the baking dish. Drizzle the vinegar over the top of the chicken. (This offers extra flavor and helps the rub stick to the chicken.) Sprinkle the spice rub over the chicken and rub over all sides.
- Preheat a grill (or grill pan) to medium heat, about 350 degrees F. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes per side. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes, then chop into bite-size pieces.
To Assemble the Burrito Bowls:
- Set out 6 soup/cereal bowls. Scoop approximately ¾ cup cooked rice into bowls. Add ½ cup black beans and ¼ cup corn. Add chopped chipotle chicken over the rice. Top with guacamole, salsa, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, sour cream, lettuce, cilantro, and a lime wedge.
Notes
- If meal prepping, I recommend that you leave the cold toppings off of the bowls and store separately until ready to assemble and serve.
- Made ahead Chipotle Grilled Chicken Burrito Bowls will keep well stored in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- For even longer storage you can freeze the grilled chicken. Transfer the chopped and cooled chipotle chicken to a sealed freezer-safe container, and keep in the freezer for up to 3 months. Let the chicken defrost in the fridge overnight before using to build your bowls.
