Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
- 1 cup brown rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 can black beans
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 large avocado
- 1 large lime
- 0.5 cup cilantro
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 cups romaine lettuce
Instructions
Start by cooking the brown rice. In a medium pot, combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until water is absorbed and rice is tender.
While the rice is cooking, prepare the chicken. Cut the chicken breast into thin strips.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and sprinkle with the taco seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside.
Drain and rinse the black beans. Heat them in a small saucepan over medium heat for about 3 minutes until warmed through. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 1-2 minutes.
Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves, and chop the romaine lettuce, cilantro, and green onions.
For the dressing, halve and pit the avocado, then scoop the flesh into a bowl. Add the juice of 1 lime, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Mash and mix until the dressing is creamy.
Once the rice is done, start assembling the taco bowls. In each bowl, put a base of cooked rice and romaine lettuce.
Top with cooked chicken, black beans, corn kernels, cherry tomatoes, and drizzle with the avocado lime dressing.
Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, and any additional lime slices as desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Dairy-Free Chicken Taco Bowl!
