Ground Chicken Taco Bowls

Step 1

In a bowl combine all of the ingredients for the salsa. Stir everything together and adjust with additional salt or lime juice if needed.

Step 2

Rinse the rice under cold water and add it to a saucepan. Cover the rice with 1 1/2 cups of water and add in the lime zest, cilantro, garlic powder, and salt. Stir everything together and bring it to a boil. Cover with a lid and turn down the heat to low. Let it cook for 15 minutes then remove it from the heat.

Step 3

Squeeze in the lime juice and fluff the rice with a fork. Cover with the lid again and let it steam for 5-10 minutes.

Step 4

Add the olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot add in the onion and ground chicken. Crumble the chicken with a wooden spoon or spatula. Add in the taco seasoning, salt, pepper, and cilantro. Stir everything together and let it cook until the onions are tender and the chicken is cooked through.

Step 5

Pour in the salsa and stir everything together. Let it simmer until heated through and then remove from the heat.

Add some of the cilantro lime rice to a bowl. Top it with the ground chicken, black bean and corn salsa, chunks of avocado, shredded cheese and garnish with cilantro.
