Instructions

First, prepare the Chili Lime Chicken. In a medium bowl, combine the chicken, lime juice, and Tajin. Marinate at room temperature for 15 minutes.
Preheat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, flipping every 3 minutes, until cooked through. Then, transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.
Next, prepare the remaining ingredients for the burrito bowls. Drain the canned black beans and transfer to a microwave-safe dish. Microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, stirring halfway, until warmed through.
Finally, assemble the burrito bowls. Start with a bed of Cilantro Lime Rice, then top with black beans, chicken, tomato, onion, and jalapeno. Top with avocado slices, then drizzle with Avocado Cilantro Lime Crema.
Optionally sprinkle with cheese and serve immediately.

Notes

Cilantro Lime Rice: This is our easy homemade recipe for cilantro lime rice that tastes just like Chipotle's. We made it with brown rice for these burrito bowls, but you can also use white rice.

Avocado Cilantro Lime Crema: We love making homemade crema for dishes like these burrito bowls! This recipe on our blog is super easy and only requires avocado, sour cream, cilantro, lime, and salt. You can even skip the cilantro to make it easier and it'll still be delicious!

Serving suggestions: We always serve burrito bowls with a few tortilla chips for scooping up all that delicious flavor. Yum!
