- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro stems
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 to 3 teaspoons Tex-Mex seasoning
- Salt and black pepper
- 450g boneless chicken thighs or sliced tofu
Rice
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 lime, zested and juiced
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, plus more for garnish
Assemble and Serve
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Tex-Mex seasoning
- 1/2 to 1 heart romaine lettuce, chopped
- 1 1/2 cups diced tomato
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup corn, canned or frozen and cooked
- 1 cup prepared guacamole
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
Directions
Prep Protein
- Combine the lime zest, lime juice, olive oil, cilantro stems, garlic, Tex-Mex seasoning, and one teaspoon of salt in a large bowl or a heavy-duty zip-top bag. Add in whatever protein you are using and toss to coat. Set aside in the refrigerator for at least one hour or overnight.
Rice
- Meanwhile, add the rice to a fine mesh sieve and rinse with cold tap water. Add the rice to a small pot along with the water and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 15 to 18 minutes or until the rice is tender. Fluff the rice with a fork, then gently stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and cilantro. Set aside.
Cook Protein
- Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat, remove the protein from the marinade, and cook until golden and cooked to your liking. You can cook the protein on the barbecue if you'd like.
Assemble and Serve
- Toss the beans with the oil and Tex-Mex seasoning to assemble the bowls. Thinly slice the chicken, if using. Divide the rice into bowls and top with protein, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, green onion, corn, guacamole, and feta cheese. Garnish with a lime wedge and some cilantro. Enjoy!
