Finely chop the chipotle peppers and stir together in a small bowl with the adobo sauce.
In a medium mixing bowl toss the chicken in the chipotle adobo sauce mixture, garlic and season with salt. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes to marinate the chicken.
Heat a large cast iron skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and heat through, then add the chicken thighs and sauté until cooked through, about 8 minutes each side.
Preheat the oven to 400ºF (200ºC).
Add the onion and sauté, stirring occasionally, until soft and opaque, about 5 minutes.
Add the tomato paste and stir to combine before adding the rice, beans, jalapeño and corn (if using a sauté pan this step may need to be done in a large mixing bowl then added to a casserole dish). Add the cumin and coriander then season with salt.
Stir to combine and top with the cheese and bake until the cheese has melted and is bubbling, about 15 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro, avocado, and serve with lime wedges on the side. Ladle into bowls to serve.
