- 1/2 cup water
- 1-1/2 cups cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1-1/2 cups sweet corn kernels fresh or frozen-then-thawed
- 4 oz freshly shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- 1 small head romaine lettuce chopped
For the Seasoning Mix:
- 1 Tablespoon chili powder
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1-1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
For the Cilantro-Lime Rice:
- 2 cups water
- 1 Tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
- 1/2 lime
For the Quick Guacamole:
- 3 avocados
- 1/2 lime
- 2 Tablespoons chopped cilantro

Instructions
For the Seasoning Mix:
- Combine the seasonings together in a small bowl then mix to combine. Scoop out 1 Tablespoon seasoning mix then set aside (this will be used for the black beans).
- Mist or brush chicken breasts with extra virgin olive oil then season on both sides with remaining seasoning mix (may not need all) and grill for 3-4 minutes per side over medium-high heat until no longer pink in the center. Let rest for 5 minutes then chop and set aside.
For the Cilantro-Lime Rice:
- Bring water, oil, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. Rinse rice in a strainer under cold water then add to the boiling water, place a lid on top, turn heat down to low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 12-15 minutes. Add lime juice and cilantro then stir to combine and set aside.
For the Black Beans:
- Add black beans to a small saucepan with water and reserved 1 Tablespoon seasoning mix. Bring to a simmer then turn heat to low to stay warm.
For the Quick Guacamole:
- Add all ingredients to a bowl then mash with the back of a fork. Taste and adjust garlic salt if necessary.
Assembly:
- Scoop cooked Cilantro-Lime Rice into bowls then top with grilled chicken, seasoned beans, cherry tomatoes, sweet corn, shredded cheese, romaine lettuce, and Quick Guacamole. Serve with Tabasco sauce and salsa, if desired.
Notes
- You will need 1 lime and 6 Tablespoons chopped cilantro for the entire recipe.
