Ingredients
Cilantro Lime Rice
4-5 Strips of Chicken tenderloins
2 tbsp Taco Seasoning
1-2 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Red Bell Pepper
1 Green/Yellow Bell Pepper
Lime Juice
Refried Beans
Shredded Lettuce
Cheese
1/2 Red Onion
Optional:
Pico de Gallo
Avocado
Sour Cream
Fresh Cilantro
Salsa
Preparation
Step 1
Start by warming your beans, I usually do this in the microwave using the directions on the back of the can of beans (my favorite is Amy Refried Beans, they're vegetarian and organic). Also start your cilantro rice following the instructions on the back of the packaging.
Step 2
Wash your produce. Cut the bell pepper into strips, the onions into slivers or chopped (whatever your preference), and prepare your pico de gallo.
Step 3
Wash and cut your chicken. Season with salt, pepper, taco seasoning, and any other seasoning you might like. Warm 1-2 tbsp of Olive oil in a medium pan and cook chicken until golden, or until the temperature has reached 165 degrees.
Step 4
Assemble bowls (serves 5). Evenly divide rice, refried beans, and chicken among the bowls.
Step 5
Refrigerate until ready to eat. Warm bowls in increments of 1 minute (usually 1 minute, stir + 30 seconds, will do the trick). Top with fresh lettuce, onions, bell peppers (option to sauté these with the chicken), pico de gallo, avocado, and/or sour cream and any other toppings to your liking.
Bowls usually good for 5-6 days after assembling.
