1. Prepare Your Base Ingredients: If you haven’t already, cook your rice according to package directions. While the rice cooks, shred or dice your cooked chicken. If using canned black beans and corn, rinse and drain them thoroughly.

2. Chop the Fresh Produce: Dice the avocado, halve the cherry tomatoes, finely dice the red onion, and chop the fresh cilantro. Having all your vegetables prepped and ready makes assembly much faster.

3. Create the Simple Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lime juice, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. This dressing will add a bright, zesty flavor to your bowls.

4. Assemble the Bowls: Divide the cooked rice evenly among your serving bowls. This forms the base of your burrito bowl.

5. Layer in the Main Components: Arrange the shredded chicken, black beans, and corn over the rice in separate sections. This creates a visually appealing bowl and allows for easy customization.

6. Add the Fresh Toppings: Distribute the diced avocado, halved cherry tomatoes, diced red onion, and chopped cilantro over the other ingredients in each bowl. The vibrant colors of the fresh toppings really make the bowls pop.

7. Drizzle and Serve: Drizzle the prepared lime-chili dressing generously over each bowl. If desired, add a dollop of salsa, sour cream, or Greek yogurt. Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade burrito bowl!
