Method
 

  1. In a blender, combine all of the marinade ingredients until completely smooth.
  2. Heat the grill pan on high heat and sear the chicken on both sides, cook until the internal temperature reaches 165 F.

  4. Serve it on top of the rice with the burrito toppings of your choice.

Notes

  • Tip 1: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or enjoy cold.
  • Tip 2: You can freeze the chicken and beans separately for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
  • Tip 3: Serve this bowl with tortilla chips for a crunch, or pair it with a simple side salad for a lighter meal.
  • Tip 4: Substitute chicken with grilled veggies or tofu to make it plant-based.
  • Tip 5: Adjust the amount of jalapenos and chili powder to control the heat.
