Mexican Chicken Rice bowls

Mexican Grilled Burrito Bowl
Mexican Grilled Burrito Bowl

This is my own version of a Chipotle burrito bowl. You can make this vegetarian by leaving out the Chicken or vegan by leaving out the cheese also. One meat substitute that I have not tried is to marinate tofu and grill it instead of chicken, which might turn out to be good also, if you try it you can leave a comment on how it comes out. Also if you leave out the meat you will probably want to add in guacamole.

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless skinless chicken breasts Sliced thin (I slice each to make 3 filets)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp salt for marinade + 1/2 tsp for black beans.
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 4 cloves of garlic minced
  • 1/3 cup of canola oil
  • 1 bunch of green onions sliced finely
  • 2 cups of black beans (1 can rinsed or two cups of cooked black beans)
  • 1 chipotle pepper (canned in adobo sauce) minced along with 1 – 2 tbsp of the adobo sauce
  • Sour cream
  • Shredded Cheddar Cheese
  • 6 -8 cups of cooked rice

Directions

Mix the first 9 ingredients in a bowl and let the chicken marinate for 1 – 4 hours. While marinating chicken mix the chipolte pepper and adobo sauce and 1/2 tsp of salt with the black beans. Remove chicken from marinade and grill on a very hot grill so it is slightly charred on the outside and done through. Dice chicken into pieces. Now put 1 cup of cooked rice in a bowl, add cooked diced chicken, a scoop of the black bean mixture, a spoonfull of sour cream and sprinkle cheese on top. You can also add your favorite hot sauce on top also. Enjoy.
