Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1 packet (1 ounce) taco seasoning
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the cubed chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until browned on all sides. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan – you may need to cook the chicken in batches.
  • Sprinkle the taco seasoning over the cooked chicken. Stir well to coat the chicken evenly with the seasoning. Add a tablespoon or two of water if the mixture seems too dry. This helps the seasoning stick and creates a delicious, flavorful sauce.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. The chicken should be tender and juicy, not dry. Give it a little taste and see if you need a little salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
  • Assemble the burrito bowls. Divide the cooked rice evenly among bowls. Top with the seasoned chicken, black beans, corn, salsa, cilantro, and avocado. A little goes a long way!
  • Garnish with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired. Serve immediately with lime wedges for squeezing over the top. The lime juice adds a bright, zesty finish that really elevates the flavors.
