Directions: 
  1. Preheat roaster over medium heat. When several drops of water sprinkled in roaster skitter and dissipate, add chicken and sprinkle with taco seasoning. Toss to coat chicken thoroughly.
  2. Cook chicken for 5 - 7 minutes, until chicken is lightly browned on all sides.
  3. Add black beans, corn and rice. Stir to combine.
  4. Add salsa, water and salt. Stir to combine and place cover on roaster.
  5. When Vapo-Valve™ begins to click steadily, reduce heat to low and cook for 20 - 30 minutes (according to package directions).
  6. Turn heat off and let roaster rest, undisturbed, for 10 minutes. Remove cover and gently stir mixture.
  7. Serve burrito bowl filling as is or with an assortment of toppings.
Tips: 
  • Serve burrito bowls with optional toppings so diners can customize to their tastes: shredded jack cheese, sour cream, hot sauce, guacamole, chopped tomato, minced scallions, cilantro, shredded lettuce or thinly sliced cabbage.
  • Substitute chicken for shrimp.
  • Substitute rice for quinoa, which cooks in approximately 16 - 20 minutes.
