Preheat a #grill{} to medium-high, or preheat the broiler.

In a #small bowl{}, combine @chipotle peppers in adobo{1%tbsp}(finely chopped), @extra-virgin olive oil{1%tbsp}, @garlic powder{1/2%tsp}, and @ground cumin{1/2%tsp}.

Oil the grill rack or a #rimmed baking sheet{} if broiling. Season @boneless skinless chicken thighs{1%lb} with @salt{1/4%tsp}.

Grill the chicken over medium-high heat for ~{5%minutes}, or broil on the prepared baking sheet for ~{9%minutes}. Turn, brush with the chipotle glaze, and continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part reads 165°F — about ~{3-5%minutes} more on the grill, or ~{9%minutes} more under the broiler.

Transfer to a clean cutting board and rest for a few minutes, then chop into bite-size pieces.

Divide @cooked quinoa{2%cups}, the chopped chicken, @romaine lettuce{2%cups}(shredded), @canned pinto beans{1%cup}(rinsed), @avocado{1}(diced), @pico de gallo{1/4%cup}(or other salsa), and @Cheddar cheese{1/4%cup}(shredded; Monterey Jack also works) among 4 bowls. Serve with @lime wedges{}.
