Chicken burrito bowl with rice, beans, corn, and avocado

About this recipe

All the burrito fillings, none of the wrap. Seasoned chicken, rice, beans, corn, and avocado with a squeeze of lime.

One batch feeds four. A single avocado split four ways is plenty once the salsa and lime are in.

Rinse the beans well so they do not taste canned. Warm them with a pinch of cumin in the last minute if you want them hot.
