Method

marinate20 min
chicken + chipotle + half the lime + cumin + garlic + salt
twenty minutes to overnight — the adobo-forward marinade that the bowl chains built an empire on; thighs over breasts for the same reason as every grilled-chicken entry in this catalog
sear12 min
medium-high, 5-6 min a side, rested then chopped
the thighs hard-seared until charred at the edges and cooked through, rested five, chopped into bowl-sized pieces — the char against the sweet adobo is the flavor headline
prep10 min
the line: rice, beans, and the cold bar in separate containers
cilantro lime rice made per its own entry, beans warmed, everything else staged — separately, which is the meal-prep covenant: components hold four days apart and about four hours combined
top3 min
built hot-under-cold, dressed at the end
rice, then beans and chicken (the hot layer), then lettuce, salsa, cheese, crema, guacamole (the cold one) — the temperature stack that makes the first three bites of a good burrito bowl what they are; lime wedge over everything, because this catalog has a position on finishing acid and this bowl is it
