Instructions
Make the rice
- Prepare rice, according to package directions.
- Combine cooked rice with cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice, and fluff with a fork. Set aside.
Cook the chicken
- Combine all spices in a small bowl, and set aside 1 tsp of this mixture for the crema.
- Heat a skillet over MED/MED HIGH heat (you can also use a grill). Rub the seasoning blend into the chicken breasts.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the oil, then the seasoned chicken. Cook for about 4-6 minutes per side, until cooked through and golden brown.
- Remove to a plate and set aside.
Make crema
- To a small bowl, add the sour cream, lime juice, and the reserved 1 tsp of the seasoning blend. Whisk or stir well to combine.
- If you want a thinner consistency, add some water, a little at a time, until it's as thin as you'd like.
Assemble the bowls
- Slice or dice up the cooked chicken.
- To each bowl, add about 1 cup of lettuce. Top with some of the rice, tomatoes, black beans, diced avocado, corn, cheese, and onion.
- Top bowls with the sliced or diced chicken, then drizzle liberally with the crema, and sprinkle with minced cilantro.
Notes
- I've estimated this recipe serves about 4, but feel free to divide it up into as many servings as you'd like.
- Please feel free to adjust these bowls to your liking, using this recipe as a loose guide. You can change up the protein, types of rice, seasonings, toppings, and even the crema.
