Instructions

Marinate the chicken in the Cilantro Lime marinade. You can grill the chicken right away or let it marinate overnight.
Prepare all the toppings. Make the guacamole and pico de gallo, or simply chop up a tomato and avocado. Cut up the lettuce, grate the cheese. Chop the fresh herbs.
Drizzle the corn with oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cook the rice. Add the cilantro and lime after the rice is cooked. Mix to combine.
While the rice is cooking, grill the chicken and the corn. Grill the chicken until it reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit in the center.
When the chicken and corn are cool enough to handle, cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and cut the corn off the cob.
Assemble the burrito bowls. Place rice on the bottom of the bowl, followed with the chicken and corn and then all the other toppings of your choice.
