Ingredients

Protein

  • 2 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (fresh preferred)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup cooked black beans (canned works great, rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn (grilled, roasted, or canned)
  • 1 piece avocado (sliced)
  • 0.25 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • 0.5 cup sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
  • 2 tbsp lime juice (for sauce)
  • 1 tbsp chipotle peppers (in adobo, minced)
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp honey

Instructions 

  • Whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Marinate chicken in the mixture for at least 30 minutes, then grill or pan-fry until cooked through and charred, about 6-7 minutes per side. Rest and slice into strips.
  • Warm black beans and char the corn in a skillet. Prepare the creamy chipotle sauce by mixing sour cream, lime juice, minced chipotle, garlic powder, and honey.
  • Assemble bowls with black beans, corn, sliced avocado, chicken, drizzle with sauce, and garnish with cilantro.
