Tablespoon chili powder

Tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

long grain white rice

cilantro

juice of 1/2 lime

avocados

Tablespoons chopped cilantro

Mix the seasonings together in a small bowl. Mist or brush chicken breasts with extra virgin olive oil then season on both sides with the mix and grill for 3-4 minutes a side over medium-high heat until no longer pink in the center. Let rest for 5 minutes then chop and set aside.

For the Cilantro-Lime Rice: Bring water, oil, and salt to a boil in a saucepan. Rinse rice in a strainer under cold water then add to the boiling water, place a lid on top, turn heat down to medium-low, and then simmer until rice is tender, about 15 minutes. Add lime juice and cilantro then stir to combine and set aside.

Add black beans to a small saucepan with water and 1 Tablespoon seasoning mix. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low to stay warm.

For the Quick Gacamole: Add all ingredients to a bowl then mash with a potato masher. Taste and adjust garlic salt if necessary.

Scoop cooked Cilantro-Lime Rice into bowls then top with grilled chicken, seasoned beans, cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, shredded cheese, romaine lettuce, and Quick Guacamole. Serve with Tabasco sauce and salsa, if desired.

Note: for the entire recipe you will need 1 lime and 6 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

rice

rotisserie chicken, shredded,

salsa

black beans,

Cheddar cheese

guacamole

sour cream

Cook rice according to package directions on the stovetop or rice cooker.

Prepare your burrito bowl toppings by transferring them into bowls.

Heat your rotisserie chicken and shred the meat, using two forks and on a cutting board, into smaller pieces.

Fill serving bowls with cooked rice, top with shredded chicken, salsa, and desired toppings to build 6 bowls.

For a grain-free bowl, use shredded lettuce instead of rice.

Layer the cooked rice into a thermos or lunch container. Top with chicken, salsa, and cheese. 

Pack the guacamole and sour cream into separate mini sauce containers to be added to the bowls prior to eating. 

Love at first sight, when i saw your rice cooker in the video. So, of course, I spent a little time researching and found the one I wanted.  So I see these yummy burrito bowls on our menu for Friday. :)
