Chicken Burrito Bowl


This can be a quick meal that is filling and can be adapted easily for each family member's tastes.
If you don't have all the spices, you can use a packaged taco seasoning mix.
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
1 T. olive oil
1 can black beans, drained
2 c. cooked brown rice
1 c. chopped cilantro
3 T. lime juice
1 tomato, chopped or sliced
1 avocado, sliced
2 c. chopped lettuce
1/2 t. paprika
1 t. chili powder
1 t. oregano
1/2 t. each of onion and garlic powder
1/2 t. cumin
1 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1/2 c. chopped onion
1/2 c. chopped green, red, yellow or orange peppers
 salsa

Heat olive oil in a large skillet and add chicken, peppers and onions.  Cook until chicken is no longer pink.  Stir in the spices and the beans.  Sprinkle with 1 T. lime juice.  Allow to simmer for 15 minutes.

Combine warm rice with 2 T. lime juice and cilantro.

Place lettuce in a serving bowl.  Top with some rice mixture, then chicken mixture.  Sprinkle on some cheese.  Put some of the avocado on one side of the bowl, and some tomato on the other side.   Top with as much salsa as desired.
