Servings:  4

Ingredient List

Avocado Salsa

  • 1 medium ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/3 cup tomato, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped white onion
  • 1 medium jalapeño chile, seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Bowls

  • 1 package (11 oz) Old El Paso™ Chipotle Chicken Burrito Bowl Kit
  • Oil, water and butter called for on package
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
  • 1 cup crumbled queso fresco
  • 1/4 cup cilantro leaves
  • Lime wedges

Preparation

  1. In medium bowl, stir together Avocado Salsa ingredients. Cover; refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Add rice (from burrito bowl kit), 1 3/4 cups water and butter to 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling, stirring frequently. Reduce heat; cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in 10-inch nonstick skillet, stir chicken, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and seasoning mix (from burrito bowl kit) until well coated. Cook over medium-high heat 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until very little liquid remains and chicken is cooked through and begins to brown.
  4. Divide rice among 4 serving bowls. Top with chicken, avocado salsa, queso fresco, cilantro and queso blanco sauce (from burrito bowl kit). Serve with lime wedges on the side.

Expert Tips

  • If you’d like your avocado salsa spicy, just substitute serrano chile for the jalapeño in this recipe. If you like it even spicier, don’t seed the chile before chopping.
  • If full-sized tomatoes are not in season, try substituting chopped cherry tomatoes to get the best flavor.
