For the Chipotle Chicken

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • ¼ cup sour cream or Mexican crema

For the Salsa

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro

  • ½ unit onion, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 4 tablespoons lime juice from 2 limes

Instructions
 

For the Chicken

  • Cut chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, and add them to a medium-sized bowl.
  • Add olive oil, ground paprika, ground cumin, ground chili pepper, kosher salt, and black pepper. Mix well until chicken is coated with spices and oil.
  • Heat a nonstick pan over medium heat, add the seasoned chicken, and cook for 7-8 minutes on each side, until thoroughly cooked. Set aside.

For the Burrito Bowls

  • Cook white rice according to package instructions.
  • To make the salsa, add cilantro, tomato, onion, white vinegar, lime juice, and kosher salt to a bowl, and mix well until combined.
  • Evenly divide romaine lettuce, corn, black beans, rice, and cooked chicken into serving bowls.
  • Add the salsa, avocado sliced, sour cream, and shredded cheddar cheese on top of the chicken burrito bowls. Enjoy!

Notes

I prefer to make this with boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but chicken thighs work too. Or use any leftover or pre-cooked chicken, including shredded chicken, canned chicken, or a rotisserie chicken.
