{Practically Chipotle} Chicken Burrito Bowl

This recipe is so easy and so versital.  You can switch out all sorts of ingredients to suit your style. We tried this last week and when  Mike took his first bite, he said, "This tastes exactly like Chipotle!" Let me just tell you that this recipe will have a regular rotation in our meal plan - everyone loved it!

◦ 4 cups cooked brown rice (cooked with 1 tsp. salt, then stirred in 1/4 cup cilantro and the juice from a small lime)
◦ 2 cooked chicken breasts or other meat, cubed or shredded and heated (leftover grilled chicken worked great)
◦ 1 can sweet corn, drained
◦ 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
◦ 1 cup shredded Monterrey jack cheese
◦ 1 cup salsa or Pico de Gallo
◦ 1/3 cup shredded lettuce
◦ 1/2 cup sour cream

Heat the corn, black beans and chicken before serving. Layer each of the ingredients above starting with rice and then adding meat, corn, cheese, salsa, lettuce and sour cream. Serve warm.

(You can, of course, pile all of this into a warmed tortilla to create a burrito, but we prefer the bowls in our family.)
