Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup cooked chicken
  • 1/2 cup cooked rice
  • 1/2 cup prepared pico de gallo or chopped tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup cooked black beans
  • 2 TBSP shredded cheese, more if you'd like! (I always add more.)
  • 1 TBSP taco seasoning
  • 1 TBSP finely sliced or diced red onion
  • 1/2 avocado, sliced or chopped

For serving:

  • 1 TBSP plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
  • 1 TBSP fresh chopped parsley or cilantro
  • Lime wedge
  • Sprinkle of chili flakes
  • Drizzle of hot sauce

Instructions

  • Cook anything that needs to be cooked, like your rice or chicken. When the chicken cooked, chop it or shred it, then pop it into a small mixing bowl. Sprinkle some taco seasoning over it and toss to coat; set it aside.
  • Prep the other ingredients, chopping your veggies and shredding your cheese, etc. Then grab yourself a personal-sized serving bowl and put your cooked rice into.
  • Top the rice with the chicken, beans, cheese, pico de gallo, onion, and avocado.
  • Sprinkle some taco seasoning over the beans and add a generous drop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream on top; add chili flakes for an extra kick along with some hot sauce.
  • Finish your bowl off with some fresh chopped parsley or cilantro, and serve it with a lime wedge.
