Do you love burritos but not always the tortilla? Well then ditch the tortilla and put everything you love about a burrito into a yummy burrito bowl. This is so simple and can be made just the way you like it. Marinate the chicken for a few hours, throw it on the grill and assemble all the yummy goodness together in a bowl. This is by far one of our family’s new favorite meals to have!
Ingredients:
- 3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- 2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- ¼ tsp. ground cumin
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ⅛ tsp. pepper
- ¼ tsp. dried oregano
- ½ cup cilantro leaves
- ½ cup olive oil
- cooked brown rice
- black beans, drained and rinsed
- chopped lettuce
- corn
- avocado, diced
- shredded cheese
- green onions
- cilantro
- tomatoes
- salsa
- 1 Tbsp. ranch dressing
- 1 tsp. taco sauce
Directions:
Combine marinade ingredients (except chicken) into food processor or blender and blend together until thoroughly mixed. Place chicken breasts into a large resealable baggie. Pour marinade over the chicken, seal the bag and let marinate for several hours in the refrigerator. Grill chicken until internal temperature reaches 165ºF. Take off grill and let rest.
Meanwhile, prepare your burrito bowls by layering cooked rice, black beans and lettuce. Add spoonfuls of any toppings desired. Slice cooked chicken and top burrito bowl with it.
In a small bowl, mix together the ranch and taco sauce. Taste and add more of either ranch or taco sauce. Drizzle chicken with ranch taco sauce and/or salsa and enjoy!
