Ingredients

Burrito Bowls:

  • 1/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 pack taco seasoning mix
  • 1/2 lime, juiced
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup diced onions
  • 3/4 cup sliced bell peppers, green or red or a combination of both
  • 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup canned corn, drained
  • 1 cup Romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 2 green onions, chopped

Cilantro lime rice:

  • 2 cups long grain rice
  • 3-1/2 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Bunch of cilantro, minced
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • Juice of 1/2 lime

Directions

  1. Mix 1/4 cup olive oil, taco seasoning mix and lime juice in a medium bowl. Add the chicken, toss to coat and marinate in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes or up to 3 days.
  2. After the chicken has marinated, heat a skillet or griddle and coat with 1 teaspoon of oil. Cook the chicken for 5 minutes per side, remove and allow to rest for 5 minutes before cutting into bite-sized squares. Add the other teaspoon of oil and the onions and peppers to the pan and cook for 2 -5 minutes.
  3. Wash rice in a large bowl under cold water for 2-5 minutes until the water runs clear. Allow to soak for at least 5 minutes. Boil water in a large sauce pan, pour in rice and let simmer on low heat for 10 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the water and is soft.
  4. Remove from heat and add butter. Cover and set aside. When the butter has melted, toss the rice with minced cilantro, salt and lime juice.
  5. To serve, layer ingredients in small individual bowls as follows: rice, beans, tomatoes, corn, chicken, onions and peppers, chopped lettuce, sour cream and chopped green onions.
