Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 packet taco seasoning
  • 2 cups cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups shredded lettuce or chopped romaine
  • 1 avocado diced
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro
  • 2 lime wedges

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, coat chicken with olive oil and taco seasoning. Let marinate for 10–15 minutes.
  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F. Let the chicken rest and slice.
  • While the chicken cooks, prepare the rest of your bowl ingredients: warm the rice, beans, and corn. Chop the vegetables and get your toppings ready.
  • Assemble the bowls by layering the rice, beans, corn, lettuce, tomatoes, and sliced chicken.
  • Top with cheese, avocado or guacamole, sour cream, and a squeeze of lime. Garnish with fresh cilantro.

Notes

Store leftovers in airtight containers for up to 4 days. Fresh toppings like lettuce and avocado should be added just before serving.
