Ingredients

  • 1tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
  • 1tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1pound boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • 1/4teaspoon salt
  • 2cups cooked quinoa

  • 1cup canned pinto beans, rinsed
  • 1ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4cup prepared pico de gallo or other salsa
  • 1/4cup shredded Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
  • Lime wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat broiler to high.
  2. Combine chipotles, oil, garlic powder and cumin in a small bowl.
  3. Oil the grill rack or a rimmed baking sheet, if broiling. Season chicken with salt. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes or broil it on the prepared baking sheet for 9 minutes. Turn, brush with the chipotle glaze and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165°F, 3 to 5 minutes more on the grill or 9 minutes more under the broiler. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Chop into bite-size pieces.
  4. Assemble each burrito bowl with 1/2 cup quinoa, 1/2 cup chicken, 1/2 cup lettuce, 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 avocado, 1 tablespoon pico de gallo (or other salsa) and 1 tablespoon cheese. Serve with a lime wedge.

Tips

Oiling a grill rack before you grill foods helps ensure that the food won’t stick. Oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.) When grilling delicate foods like tofu and fish, it is helpful to coat the food with cooking spray.
