Healthy Chicks Grilled Chicken Burrito Bowls
During the summer, we like to grill out as much as possible. There’s just nothing like that fresh grilled taste during the sweet summertime. Don’t you agree?
Take a break from the usual burgers and dogs with this healthy and refreshing take on your favorite Mexican burrito! Made with tender grilled chicken, rice, greens and all the fixings, this salad is made for summer nights.
Healthy Chicken & Rice Burrito Bowls
What you need:
- 1 lb chicken
- 1 lime
- olive oil
- your favorite poultry seasoning blend
- ~1 c. cooked rice (I use Tasty Bite Organic pre-cooked Basmati for ease)
- 8 oz. black beans
- Package mixed greens, chopped (We love Little Leaf Farms but any greens will do)
- 2 avocados
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- sea salt
- Toppings: guacamole, salsa, sour cream, shredded Mexican cheese to your liking
- Marinate the chicken with olive oil, juice of 1/2 lime, and your favorite poultry seasoning. Store in fridge for at least a couple hours.
- Grill chicken until cooked through, and set aside.
- In the meantime, mix the cooked rice with black beans and sea salt to taste.
- Prepare your own simple guacamole topping with avocados, garlic, sea salt and remaining lime juice.
- Create your burrito bowls by layering greens, then rice & bean mixture topped with guacamole and remaining toppings of your choice. (I love salsa, sour cream, and shredded cheese). Squeeze fresh lime juice over the top and enjoy!
