A day or two after taco Tuesday or taco Thursday or taco any day always turns one of the meals into a chicken bowl with the leftover from the taco meal. Some rice, black beans, and lettuce round up the leftover chicken into a quick meal. Make it your own with additional toppings (salsa, guac, or chips).
Ingredients
- One serving cooked chicken breast or thighs slice into strips. (I have used chimichurri chicken here)
- 1 cup of cooked rice. If you are using leftover take-out rice, season it with a bit of lime or lemon juice and some spices (curry powder, taco mix, or my favorite everything but the bagel seasoning).
- 1-2 cups chopped lettuce or any greens or store-bought slaw
- ½ cup black beans
- ½ cup guacamole, salsa, and or sour cream.
- Reheat the chicken in the air fryer for 5-7 minutes covered in foil.
- Heat the rice in a pan or microwave. If you are using freshly cooked quinoa or rice, dress the grains with salad dressing, salt, and pepper, or my favorite everything bagel seasoning.
- Assemble the rice and beans in a large flat bowl. Add the chopped greens or slaw on the side. Top the lettuce with guac or salsa. Top with warm chicken slices.
- Enjoy!
