Ingredients

Units Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning or fajita seasoning

For the Bowl:

  • 1 cup cooked white or brown rice
  • 1 cup canned black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar or Mexican blend cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Lime wedges for serving
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Rub the chicken with olive oil and taco seasoning, then grill or pan-cook over medium heat for 6–7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and golden. Let rest for a few minutes, then slice into strips.
  2. Assemble the Bowls: Layer the rice on the bottom, followed by black beans, corn, tomatoes, avocado, red onion, cheese, and sliced chicken. Sprinkle with cilantro, and serve with lime wedges on the side.

Notes

  • You can swap chicken for steak, tofu, or shrimp.
  • Add salsa, sour cream, or a drizzle of chipotle mayo for extra flavor.
  • Great for meal prep—store components separately and assemble as needed.
