Ingredients
Method
- In a small bowl, combine adobo sauce, minced chipotle peppers, olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the chicken thighs in a large zip-top bag or shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Ensure the chicken is evenly coated and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken thighs for 5-6 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and slightly charred. Remove from heat and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing into bite-sized pieces.
- While the chicken is cooking, prepare the burrito bowl components: cook the rice according to package instructions, heat the black beans and corn, and shred the lettuce.
- Assemble the burrito bowls by layering the rice at the bottom, followed by black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, shredded lettuce, and sliced chicken.
- Top each bowl with shredded Monterey Jack cheese, a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and fresh cilantro for garnish.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Copycat Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl!
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight. You can also customize the toppings to suit your preferences.
