Description
A vibrant and comforting Grilled Chicken Burrito Bowl that layers charred chicken, citrus, and soft rice for a cozy meal any night of the week.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 grilled chicken breast, sliced
- 1/2 cup corn
- 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- 1/4 cup salsa
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- Lime wedges
Instructions
- In a bowl, layer cooked rice as the base. Use warm rice for best texture and to help toppings meld.
- Top with black beans, grilled chicken, corn, diced tomatoes, and avocado. Arrange ingredients in sections for a beautiful bowl, or toss gently for an all-in-one salad style.
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top and add salsa. For melted cheese, place the assembled bowl under a broiler for 30–60 seconds, watching closely.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges. Squeeze lime just before eating to keep flavors bright; cilantro adds an herbal lift.
Notes
Prep extra rice and grill several chicken breasts at once to speed assembly on busy nights.
