Ingredients
  

  • Ingredients for the Corn Salsa:
  • 1 can whole kernel corn drained
  • 2 T fresh cilantro chopped
  • 1 T lime juice
  • 1/4 cup red onion diced
  • Ingredients for the Burrito Bowls:
  • 1 whole chicken
  • Weber Tequila Lime Marinade packet
  • 1/4 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 3 cups Romaine lettuce chopped

  • 1 avocado chopped
  • Optional ingredients:

  • Ranch dressing

Instructions
 

  • Instructions for the Corn Salsa:
  • Add all ingredients to small bowl and mix together well. For this recipe, I highly recommend using fresh cilantro to get the most flavor.
  • Instructions for Burrito Bowls:
  • Start the grill or preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix marinade as indicated on package and drizzle over entire chicken followed by the cumin.
  • If smoking your chicken, we set the temperature to about 275 degrees and it was done after 3 hours. We used apple flavor wood pellets.
  • About 15 minutes prior to reaching the appropriate internal temperature, I started cooking the rice as indicated on package and chopping the remaining ingredients so by the time the chicken was done, that was the only ingredient left I needed to tend to.
  • When the chicken was cool enough to pull apart, which was about 20 minutes later, I pulled chicken apart into thin strips and added it to the burrito bowl.
  • Add corn salsa to burrito bowl and mix all ingredients together. May top with salsa, cheese, and/or Ranch dressing.
  • We topped our burrito bowls with my Aunt Barb's homemade salsa and a bit of Ranch dressing.
