🔥 Instructions
1. Marinate & Cook Chicken
• In a bowl, combine chicken strips with chipotle peppers, chili powder, cumin, minced garlic, olive oil, salt & pepper.
• Let marinate for at least 15 mins (longer for deeper flavor).
• Grill or sauté chicken over medium-high heat until browned and fully cooked, about 5–6 mins per side.
2. Prepare Rice & Beans
• Cook your rice according to package instructions (or warm up pre-cooked rice).
• Season black beans lightly with salt & pepper if desired; warm them in a small saucepan or microwave.
3. Make Corn Salsa
• In a small bowl, combine corn, red onion, jalapeño (if using), lime juice, salt & pepper.
• Adjust seasoning to taste.
4. Mash Guacamole
• In another bowl, mash avocados with lime juice, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth (or chunky, if preferred).
5. Mix Sauce
• Choose Lime Crema or Spicy Chipotle sauce (or both!). Whisk the ingredients together until smooth.
• Taste and adjust seasoning (more lime or chipotle as needed).
6. Assemble Burrito Bowls
• Start with a base of rice in each bowl.
• Top with black beans, chipotle chicken strips, corn salsa, guacamole, shredded lettuce, and cheese.
• Drizzle the sauce of your choice on top.
