Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cup salsa
- 0.5 cup diced tomato
- 0.5 cup diced avocado
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, shredded
- 0.25 cup guacamole

Instructions
Rinse the white rice under cold water until water runs clear. Add the rice, water, and a pinch of salt to a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover with a lid, and cook for 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and water is absorbed.
Once the rice is cooked, stir in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lime juice, and chopped cilantro. Set aside and keep warm.
Prepare the chicken by shredding it into small, bite-sized pieces. Heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the shredded chicken. Sprinkle with the taco seasoning and cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Set aside.
Warm the black beans in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally, until fully heated. Set aside.
To assemble the Fiesta Bowls, start with a base of cilantro-lime rice in each bowl.
Layer the black beans, shredded lettuce, taco-seasoned chicken, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced tomatoes on top.
Add a dollop of sour cream, guacamole, and salsa for a creamy and tangy finish.
Garnish each bowl with diced avocado and a sprinkling of tortilla chips for crunch.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Taco Bell-inspired Fiesta Bowl!
