Preparation
- Start by seasoning your chicken with taco seasoning. Grill or sauté the chicken over medium heat until fully cooked through, about 7-10 minutes per side. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.
Cooking Rice

Assembling the Bowl
- In a large bowl, layer the ingredients starting with a generous serving of rice at the base, followed by the sliced chicken, black beans, corn, and diced tomatoes.
Serving
- Sprinkle shredded cheese on top, then add fresh avocado and chopped cilantro. Squeeze some lime juice for a zesty kick.
Notes
Customize your spice level by adjusting the taco seasoning. This dish is excellent for meal prepping. Using fresh ingredients like avocados and tomatoes will elevate the taste. Explore variations like gluten-free, vegetarian options, or adding crunch with tortilla strips.
