Restated from the original video
- 1
Blend or finely mash the chipotle peppers and their sauce with the garlic, cumin, oregano, 2 tbsp of the oil and the salt into a paste.
- 2
Coat the chicken in the paste and marinate for 20 min while the rice cooks, or overnight in the fridge.

Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, season with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Cover, turn the heat to low and cook for 15 min, then leave it covered off the heat for 10 min.

Warm the beans in a small pan with a splash of water over low heat, 5 min. Season with a little salt.

Heat the remaining oil in a heavy frying pan or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until well browned and it reaches 74 °C (165 °F) inside, 5-7 min per side.
- 6
Move the chicken to a board and rest it for 5 min, then slice or dice it.
- 7
Tip the corn into the same pan and cook over high heat until it picks up a few charred spots, 2-3 min.

Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the cilantro and the lime juice.

Halve the avocado, remove the pit and slice the flesh.
