Ingredients
Scale
Chicken Bowls:
- 1 package (1.1 lbs pre-cooked Just Meats Pollo Asado)
- 1 cup uncooked jasmine rice, rinsed + 2 cups water (read package instructions)
- 1 red bell pepper, seeds and stem removed and sliced
- 1/2 red onion, sliced
- 1 avocado, skin and pit removed with diced
- 11 ounce can of corn, drained
- 15 ounce can of black beans, rinsed, drained and dried
- 1 tablespoon jalapeño, seeds and membranes removed and minced
- 1 cup tortilla strips
- lime wedges for garnish
Sour Cream Sauce:
- 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 teaspoon taco seasoning
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Instructions
- Cook the rice according to the package instructions in the rice cooker or in a pot on the stovetop.
- In a small bowl, stir together sour cream, 1 teaspoon lime juice and taco seasoning until smooth and combined. Place in the fridge until assembling the bowls.
- Once the rice only has 5 minutes remaining, in a large skillet over medium high heat, add in the chicken. Pour in the marinade packet and cook for 1 minute on each side or until warm. Note: This is only for Just Meat Chicken (Pollo Asado) that is throughly cooked before re-heating. If you are cooking raw chicken, it needs to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees before removing from the pan.
- Assemble the Southwest Bowls by placing rice and chicken as the base. Add black beans, corn, avocado, peppers, onion, lime wedges and tortilla strips. Drizzle with the sour cream sauce. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Don't overcook the Just Meats chicken. It's only intended to warm up, and overcooking will cause the meat to dry out.
- Drain and rinse the black beans really well to avoid those dark juices from getting into the bowl.
- Wait to cut the avocado until right before serving or it will start to turn pink or brown on the edges from oxidation.
