I've been completely obsessed with Guzman's Spicy Chicken Burrito Bowl.
Since my money is slowly going down the drain by the amount of burrito bowls I have been purchasing as of late, @nishyfishy and I decided to attempt our own version!
Today, I would love to feature our take on a chicken burrito bowl. We incorporated a lot of healthy ingredients so for those health fanatics out there, I hope you're proud :D
Ingredients
- A clove of garlic, diced
- 3 skinless thigh fillets, pan fried
- 2 tomatoes, diced
- 1 red onion diced
- 1 avocado, mashed
- 1/4 lemon
- Black rice
- Harberno sauce (or any sauce of your choosing)
Method
Chicken
- Pan fry the chicken until juicy and tender
- Wait for it to cool before dicing them up into cubic chunks
Rice
- With either a normal pot or a rice cooker, pop in however much rice you would like - we were only cooking for two so 2 cups of rice was plenty.
- Add 1.5 cups of water + how many cups of rice you had. So for me, with 2 cups of rice, I added 3.5 cups of water. If you only had 1 cup of rice, add in 2.5 cups of water.
- If you would like, once the rice is all cooked, place it in the pan and fry it for a few minutes to get a crunchy texture!
Guacamole
- Take one whole avocado and mash it up in a bowl.
- Drizzle some lemon juice and season with salt and pepper
Compiling everything together
- Pop a serving of rice in a bowl before adding the chicken, guac and freshly diced tomatoes
- Sprinkle with red onion and shredded cheese
- Add a sauce of your preference - I like mine hooooooot!
- @nishyfishy decided to experiment even more and add in broccoli as well - so this recipe is super easy to alter!
Time to EAT UP :D
YAY! it was super delicious and had lots of fun recreating the burrito bowl. One thing i would suggest adding is black beans but unfortunately we forgot to purchase them on our supermarket trip :(
