Ingredients

• 2 pieces Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless, cut into bite‑size strips)
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil (for sautéing)
• 1 tablespoon Taco Seasoning (store‑bought or homemade blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt)
• 1 cup Long Grain White Rice (rinsed)
• 2 cups Water (for cooking rice)
• 1 cup Black Beans (canned, drained and rinsed)
• ½ cup Corn Kernels (frozen or canned, drained)

Instructions

1. Cook the Rice

   Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Combine rice and 2 cups water in a medium saucepan, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes until water is absorbed and rice is tender.

   Time: PT15M

   Temperature: low heat

2. Season and Cook the Chicken

   While the rice cooks, heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium‑high heat. Add the chicken strips, sprinkle with 1 tbsp taco seasoning, and sauté for 5‑7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is browned and cooked through.

   Time: PT7M

   Temperature: medium‑high

3. Heat the Beans and Corn

   Add the drained black beans and corn kernels to the skillet with the chicken. Stir and cook for another 2 minutes just to warm through.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium

4. Prep Fresh Toppings

   While the skillet finishes, shred the lettuce, halve the cherry tomatoes, slice the avocado, chop cilantro, and cut the lime into wedges.

   Time: PT5M

5. Assemble the Burrito Bowls

   Divide the cooked rice between two serving bowls. Top each with equal portions of seasoned chicken‑bean mixture, black beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado, shredded cheese, and a spoonful of salsa. Garnish with cilantro and a lime wedge.
