Instructions
Making the Classic Shredded Chicken Burrito Bowl is simple when you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Rice: If not using pre-cooked rice, prepare your rice according to package instructions. Set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: If using rotisserie chicken, shred the meat into bite-sized pieces. If cooking chicken from scratch, season and cook until fully cooked, then shred.
3. Heat Beans and Corn: In a small saucepan, combine the black beans and corn. Heat over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Mix Chicken with Salsa: In a bowl, combine the shredded chicken with salsa and lime juice. Mix until the chicken is well coated.
5. Assemble the Bowls: In serving bowls, start with a base of rice. Top with the salsa chicken, heated beans, corn, diced tomatoes, and cheese.
6. Add Fresh Toppings: Finish each bowl with avocado slices, fresh cilantro, and any additional toppings you prefer, such as sour cream or jalapeños.
7. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious burrito bowls while fresh!
