Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (fresh preferred)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup cooked black beans (canned, rinsed)
- 1 cup corn (grilled, roasted, or canned)
- 1 avocado (sliced)
- 1/4 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons lime juice (for sauce)
- 1 tablespoon chipotle peppers in adobo (minced)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, chipotle chili powder, smoked paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Heat a grill or large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove chicken from marinade and cook for 6-7 minutes per side, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
- While the chicken rests, warm black beans in a saucepan or microwave. Add a pinch of cumin and salt. Char corn in a hot skillet for 3-4 minutes until golden.
- In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream (or Greek yogurt), lime juice, minced chipotle peppers, garlic powder, and honey to create the creamy sauce.
- Assemble bowls by layering black beans, corn, avocado, and chicken. Drizzle with the creamy sauce and garnish with cilantro. Serve with lime wedges.
Notes
Marinate the chicken for optimal flavor. Adjust spices according to your heat preference.
