Chicken Burrito Bowls

Yes, we are channeling our inner Chipotle today.

No, I'm not going to lie to you and tell you that this is as good as actual Chipotle. No way. There's just something too delicious about Chipotle to be copied at home. 

But this is still really tasty!

And really, it's rather simple...Just assemble rice, chicken, and a yummy black bean & corn salsa.

So colorful and delicious!

To make my chicken, I just cooked the chicken in the crock pot with some chicken broth, shredded it, and then mixed it with some fajita seasoning. I prefer that method because I'm lazy and would rather have the crock pot cook the chicken than stand over the stove it's easy. But you could also cube the chicken and cook it in a little olive oil. You could also ax the chicken altogether and have a nice vegetarian, cheap meal!

Enjoy your (almost) Chipotle goodness!

Chicken Burrito Bowls

2-3 chicken breasts, seasoned with Mexican seasoning & cooked.

1-2 cups of basmati rice, cooked according to package directions.

For the salsa:

1 can equivalent of black beans - I use 1/4 of a package of dry beans that have been cooked, drained & rinsed

2 cups frozen corn, thawed

1 large or 2 small onions, chopped

1 green capsicum, chopped (bell pepper)

3 tomatoes, chopped

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

Chopped Green chiles or jarred jalapenos to your heat taste

Handful of coriander leaf (cilantro), roughly chopped

1 TBS lime/lemon juice

1 tsp chili powder (American version)

1 tsp cumin

1-2 tsps salt

Mix all the salsa ingredients together. Layer the rice, chicken, salsa, and top with shredded cheese! I like to eat this with tortilla chips, but it would also be great rolled in a tortilla, and very Chipotle-esque. You can even get fancy and stir some lime juice/cilantro into the rice. Yummmmm.
