Instructions

For the rice:

  • Bring the rice, 2 cups water and olive oil to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, cover the pan and reduce the heat to medium-low.
  • Cook until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Squeeze lime juice into the rice, then fluff salt and cilantro into rice using a fork.

For the chicken:

  • Cut the chicken in to 1-inch chunks and season with chili powder.
  • In a pan with olive oil or on a grill, cook the chicken thoroughly, until no longer pink, about 5 minutes. Set aside.

For the beans:

  • Add the beans and oil into a small pan and heat over medium heat. Use the back of a spoon to mash the beans a little bit.
  • Stir in the cumin, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder. Cook until the beans are hot, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and set aside.

To serve:

  • Divide rice into bowls, followed by a scoop of beans, and chicken. Top with roasted corn, pico de gallo, guacamole, sour cream, and shredded cheese.
