Chicken - you can use anything. For the easiest prep, we use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. If you use skin-on pieces, it will likely provide great flavor, but you will want to fish out and remove the skin after cooking.
You can also use pork - just use fairly lean pork.
Corn and black beans can be adjusted to your taste. Pinot beans and other beans perfectly fine.
Toppings to consider - pickled jalapeños, chopped green onion, sour cream, and grated cheese
Serve and eat it as a bowl or wrap in tortillas for a burrito. You can make breakfast burritos with scrambled eggs and the burrito bowl mixture along with cheese - wrap it in a burrito and enjoy.
