Ingredients

• 1 cup long-grain white rice
• 2 cups water
• 1 lime, juiced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 (15 oz) can black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
• 1/4 cup chopped red onion
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1 tbsp lime juice
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup shredded romaine lettuce
• 1/2 cup pico de gallo or salsa
• 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 avocado, sliced

Instructions

1. Cook rice: In a medium saucepan, combine rice, water, and 1/2 tsp salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes until tender. Remove from heat, fluff with a fork, and stir in lime juice and 1/4 cup cilantro. Set aside.
2. Season chicken: In a small bowl, mix chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, 1/2 tsp salt, and black pepper. Rub the mixture evenly over chicken breasts.
3. Cook chicken: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F). Let rest for 5 minutes, then dice into bite-sized pieces.
4. Prepare corn salsa: In a small bowl, combine corn, red onion, 1/4 cup cilantro, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 tsp salt. Mix well.
5. Warm black beans: In a small saucepan, heat black beans over medium heat until warmed through, about 2-3 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt if desired.
6. Assemble bowls: Divide cilantro-lime rice among 4 bowls. Top with diced chicken, black beans, corn salsa, lettuce, pico de gallo, cheese, sour cream, and avocado slices.
7. Serve immediately with hot sauce on the side if desired.

Tips

• For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with grilled tofu or extra black beans.
• Store components separately in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat before assembling.
• Customize with toppings like jalapeños, hot sauce, or guacamole.
