Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
  2. Add the chicken breast to the marinade, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow it to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors.

  5. Begin assembling your burrito bowl. Start with a base of cooked rice, followed by layers of black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, sliced avocado, and shredded lettuce.
  6. Slice the cooked chicken breast and steak into strips. Arrange them on top of the layered ingredients in the bowl.
  7. Drizzle sour cream and salsa over the chicken and steak. For a richer flavor, you may warm the sour cream and salsa before adding them to the bowl.
  8. Finish off the dish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro and a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top.
  9. Serve your hearty chicken and steak burrito bowl immediately for the best experience. Enjoy this colorful and flavorful feast that embodies the spirit of Mexican cuisine!
