Cook the rice with chicken broth or add spices for extra flavor.
Warm the beans gently before adding them to the burrito.
Use freshly shredded cheese (Cheddar, Monterey Jack, or your favorite) instead of pre-shredded cheese for best texture.
Use your favorite salsa - chunky, smooth, mild, or spicy.
Adjust the seasoning in the guacamole to taste.
Serve the naked burrito immediately for the best taste and texture.
Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Yes, you can use brown rice as a healthier alternative, but allow additional cooking time if making it from scratch.
You can use kidney beans or any other type of beans you prefer.
Yes, you can bake, saute, or use a slow cooker for the chicken, but make sure it's well-marinated for flavor.
Add more jalapeno or include some of the seeds for added heat.
Yes, but squeeze extra lime juice on top and cover tightly with plastic wrap to prevent browning.
You can use dairy-free cheese and sour cream substitutes, or simply omit them.
Store leftovers separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 1 day for the guacamole and 2 days for everything else.
Yes, feel free to add toppings like lettuce, diced tomatoes, roasted corn kernels, or bell pepper strips.
Serve with tortilla chips, a side salad, or Mexican-style grilled corn.
Yes, you can use store-bought guacamole for convenience.

I was SO BORED of cooking for my family after having been doing this chore since 1979. I found this recipe on CD Kitchen/copycat . OMG! This is delicious! The rest of the family raved. I cut the chicken into this strips first and then marinated them in lime juice and garlic- cooked them first and threw everything else together in order given. I DID. Butter the rice and add like to it for zing. Mmmmmm...very happy fam!"

I just used a packaged fajita marinade to make the chicken and followed the rest of the recipe. Really tasty. I did add a splash of hot sauce to the guac and a little more salt.
For those looking for the marinade for the chicken, I Googled "chipotle restaurant recipes". They have the marinade and it tastes pretty dang close to Qdoba.
Yes!! The chicken receipe is what I need!! Doesn't anybody have it?
...and it just wouldn't be the same without the LIME RICE!!! That is my favorite! I found a recipe for it online, but I haven't tried it yet. Anybody found that chicken recipe yet????
This recipe is really not helpful. I know how to make rice and serve with beans and guacamole; what I want is to know how they make their chicken so delicious!
Do you have a recipe for the marinated chicken that goes into the burrito?
