  6. While the chicken/tofu is baking, prepare your bowl components. Warm the rice, beans, and corn if desired.
  7. Assemble your burrito bowls: Start with a base of rice.
  8. Add the cooked chicken or tofu.
  9. Top with black beans, pinto beans, and corn.
  10. Add a dollop of salsa and sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  11. Sprinkle with cheese.
  12. Add any of your favorite optional toppings.
