Chipotle Lime Chicken Burrito Bowls
Chipotle Lime Chicken Burrito Bowls
Burrito bowls, and “naked burritos” are just two ways I’ve heard fast casual Mexican restaurants like Chipotle and Qdoba describe a burrito sans tortilla. It seems to be a trend lately, and it’s a trend I’m 100% on board with! I love a burrito in a bowl and finally decided that I might as well make it at home because really, there’s nothing too difficult about it!
I started with my simple recipe for cilantro lime rice , added some sauteed veggies, then added some super delicious chipotle lime marinated chicken that I had marinated for several hours and cooked. Some people add beans to their burritos, but I’m definitely not a bean fan when it comes to burritos. I topped the whole thing off with Classic Salsa with Roasted Corn, some sharp cheddar cheese, and a little sour cream and cilantro. Deeelish!
This recipe is pretty versatile, and the Chipotle Lime Chicken can be used in so many different ways – on salads, sandwiches, etc. The marinade simply consists of some chipotle chile peppers in adobo sauce, lime juice, and a few other simple ingredients you probably already have on hand. While the marinade is simple, it definitely provides awesome flavor to the chicken!
