Ingredients

4 servings
Cooked grain base2 cups cooked
Cooked legumes1.5 cups cooked
Protein1.5 lbs
Red onion1 medium, diced
Bell pepper1 large, diced
Cherry tomatoes1 cup, halved
Leafy greens2 cups raw or lightly wilted
Corn1 cup, fresh or frozen
Avocado1 medium, sliced
Cilantro0.25 cup chopped

Method

1

Dice red onion, bell pepper, and tomatoes. Chop cilantro. If using avocado, slice just before assembly.

2

Season chicken breast with taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Grill, pan-sear, or bake at 400°F until cooked through (12–15 minutes). Let rest 5 minutes, then slice or shred.

3

If cooking from scratch: simmer white rice in salted water (about 18 minutes) and cook pinto beans separately until tender (or use canned beans, drained and rinsed). If using prepared grains and beans, reheat gently.

4

Toss cooked grain and beans lightly with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Prepare greens—toss lightly or serve raw.

5

In each bowl or container, layer: grain base, then beans, protein, corn, bell pepper, onion, tomatoes, and greens. Top with avocado, cilantro, and a lime wedge. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and crema if using.

6

Serve warm or at room temperature. Squeeze lime juice over the top before eating.
