I got inspiration for this recipe after my last week lunch at Chipotle the Mexican grill restaurant. The rice bowl combines protein-rich black beans with creamy avocado, diced tomatoes and rice and grilled/broiled chicken. This is a great healthy combo for kids and the whole family. Feel free to use this recipe as a jumping-off point. If you prefer steak to chicken, or brown rice to white, sub it. Same with the toppings and seasonings.
