This chipotle-flavored burrito bowl recipe is even better than takeout and just as fast. Loading it with vegetables and using quinoa in place of rice adds nutrition for a healthy dinner.

Chipotle Chicken Quinoa Burrito Bowl

Serves 4

Serving Size: 1 burrito bowl, about 2 1/2 cups

Active Time: 30 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 cups cooked quinoa

2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

1 cup canned pinto beans, rinsed

1 ripe avocado, diced

1/4 cup prepared pico de gallo or other salsa

1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese

Lime wedges for serving

Preheat grill to medium-high or preheat broiler.

Combine chipotles, oil, garlic powder and cumin in a small bowl.

Oil the grill rack or a rimmed baking sheet, if broiling. Season chicken with salt. Grill the chicken for 5 minutes or broil it on the prepared baking sheet for 9 minutes. Turn, brush with the chipotle glaze and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 F, 3 to 5 minutes more on the grill or 9 minutes more under the broiler. Transfer to a clean cutting board. Chop into bite-size pieces.

Assemble each burrito bowl with 1/2 cup quinoa, 1/2 cup chicken, 1/2 cup lettuce, 1/4 cup beans, 1/4 avocado, 1 tablespoon pico de gallo (or other salsa) and 1 tablespoon cheese. Serve with a lime wedge.

Recipe notes: To oil a grill rack, oil a folded paper towel, hold it with tongs and rub it over the rack. (Do not use cooking spray on a hot grill.)
