Ingredients:

– 2 tbsp lime juice

– 2 cups cooked black beans

– 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed

– 1 small red onion, finely diced

– 1/2 tsp cumin

– 1/4 tsp smoked paprika

– 1/4 tsp chili powder

– Salt & pepper to taste

– Olive oil for cooking

– 1 lb chicken breast, sliced thinly or chopped into bite-size pieces

– 2 avocados, sliced

– 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack or cheddar cheese (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cook Rice: Prepare the white rice according to the package instructions. Once cooked, fluff it with a fork and let it cool slightly.

2. Season Rice: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked rice with chopped cilantro, lime juice, and salt to taste. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

3. Prepare Black Bean and Corn Mixture: In a medium-sized pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil. Add the diced red onion and sauté for about two minutes until translucent. Add the corn kernels and cook for another two minutes.

4. Add black beans to the pan, followed by cumin, smoked paprika, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine everything and cook for an additional two minutes. Take off heat and set aside.

5. Cook Chicken: In a separate pan, heat a little olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Assemble Burrito Bowls: Divide the seasoned rice among four serving bowls. Top with the black bean and corn mixture, cooked chicken, avocado slices, cheese (if using), sour cream (if using), and your choice of salsa or pico de gallo.
