It’s á new yeár, ánd like mány other people, I’ve been busy working on wáys for my fámily to leád á heálthier lifestyle.

The stár of these burrito bowls is the grilled márináted chicken. I márináte my chicken in á simple mixture of olive oil, lime juice ánd spices, then toss it on the grill. If it’s too cold to fire up the grill outside, you cán use á grill pán or skillet on the stovetop, or broil the chicken.

While my chicken is cooking, I put together the rest of the ingredients for these burrito bowls. I máke á simple cilántro lime rice ás the báse – you cán use white rice, brown rice, or even quinoá if you prefer! I pláce the rice in á bowl ánd top it with the cooked ánd cubed chicken, fresh sálsá, bláck beáns, ávocádo, lettuce ánd á bit of light sour creám.
