Scale

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
  • 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup salsa
  • 1 lime, cut into wedges

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, toss the diced chicken with olive oil, chili powder, paprika, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, black pepper, tomato paste, and water until evenly coated.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring often, until fully cooked and lightly charred in spots.
  3. Rinse the rice and add it to a saucepan with water and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for 15 minutes or until tender.
  4. Remove the rice from the heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice.
  5. In a small skillet, heat the olive oil for the beans over medium heat. Add the black beans, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes until warmed through.
  6. In a medium bowl, mash the avocados with lime juice, red onion, cilantro, salt, and black pepper until creamy but still slightly chunky.
  7. Divide the cilantro lime rice among serving bowls.
  8. Top each bowl with cooked chicken, black beans, guacamole, salsa, and a spoonful of sour cream.
  9. Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use fresh lime juice for the best flavor.
  • Adjust spices to your taste.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
