Chicken Burrito Bowls with chicken, rice and black beans — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Chicken Burrito Bowls

A burrito bowl is the filling of a burrito served without the tortilla: everything goes into a bowl in layers instead of being rolled. This one starts with chicken breast rubbed in chilli powder, cumin and smoked paprika, sits on cilantro-lime rice, and is finished with black beans, corn, pico de gallo and avocado. Chicken and beans together push protein above 45 g a serving, and the whole thing takes 35 minutes.
