Tips:

- Cook the brown rice in advance, or use a rice cooker, to save time. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.

- Marinate the chicken breasts with lime juice, salt, and black pepper for at least 30 minutes to enhance the flavor.

- Grill or pan-fry the chicken until it's fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C). Allow it to rest before slicing into strips.

- Rinse and drain the black beans thoroughly to remove excess sodium.

- For an extra kick, add some jalapenos or hot sauce to the salsa sauce or as a topping.

- Use freshly chopped coriander leaves to garnish for a burst of freshness.

- Consider layering the ingredients attractively in the bowl: start with a base of brown rice, then add sliced chicken, black beans, lettuce, cheese, salsa, avocado, and finish with a dollop of Greek yogurt.

- Feel free to customize the burrito bowl with additional toppings like corn, bell peppers, or your favorite tortilla chips.
