Instructions

  • Rinse rice until the water runs clear. Add rice and broth to a pot. Bring to a boil, reduce to low, cover, and cook until tender (about 15 minutes for white rice, 35–40 for brown). Rest 5 minutes.
  • Fluff with a fork. Stir in lime juice, cilantro, and a pinch of salt.
  • In a bowl, combine chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Pat chicken dry. Toss with olive oil, spice mix, and lime zest. Squeeze in half the lime juice.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high. Add chicken in a single layer. Sear 4–6 minutes per side until browned and cooked through (165°F). Don’t overcrowd; work in batches for better browning.
  • Transfer to a cutting board. Rest 5 minutes, then slice or cube. Squeeze remaining lime over the top.
  • Warm beans and corn in a small saucepan with a splash of water and a pinch of salt, or microwave until hot.
  • Dice bell pepper, slice onion, halve tomatoes, and prep avocado right before serving to keep it fresh.
  • Add a scoop of rice to each bowl.
  • Top with chicken, black beans, corn, bell pepper, tomatoes, and onion.
  • Add avocado, salsa, cheese, and a dollop of Greek yogurt or sour cream.
  • Finish with cilantro and lime wedges. Taste and adjust salt or lime as needed.
