Instructions
Cook the Cilantro Lime Rice
Cook white rice according to package directions. Once cooked, fluff with a fork and stir in 2 tablespoons of lime juice, half the chopped cilantro, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Grill the Chipotle Chicken
Remove chicken thighs from the chipotle marinade and grill over medium-high heat for 5 to 6 minutes per side until charred and cooked through. Rest for 5 minutes then slice or chop into bite sized pieces.
Warm the Black Beans
Combine black beans with a pinch of cumin, garlic powder, salt, and remaining lime juice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat for 5 minutes until warmed through and fragrant.
Build the Bowl
Layer cilantro lime rice in each bowl as the base. Add portions of chipotle chicken and black beans side by side. Top generously with pico de gallo and finish with remaining fresh cilantro, sour cream, or guacamole if desired.
