Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless chicken breasts or thighs, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons chili powder or Tajin
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, chopped
- 1 yellow onion, sliced
- 3 bell peppers, sliced
- 3–4 cups cooked rice
- 3 cups grilled corn kernels
- 1/2 cup crumbled cotija cheese
- Shredded lettuce
- Mashed/whipped avocado
- Sliced jalapeños
- Cilantro
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup salsa verde
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 2 teaspoons spicy honey
- 1/3 cup cilantro, chopped
Instructions
- In a large skillet, combine the olive oil, chicken, smoked paprika, chili powder (or Tajin), cumin, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Set the skillet over high heat. Cook until seared all over and cooked through for about 8-10 minutes. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the chopped garlic. Cook for 1 minute before removing everything from the skillet.
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, add sliced onions. Cook until fragrant (about 5 minutes). Toss in sliced bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until peppers are tender (about another 5 minutes).
- Add the cooked chicken back into the skillet with the onions and peppers. Toss to combine everything evenly.
- In a glass jar, combine extra virgin olive oil, salsa verde, lime juice, spicy honey, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt to taste; shake well until combined.
- Spoon the chicken mixture over bowls of cooked rice. Top each bowl with grilled corn kernels followed by shredded lettuce. Sprinkle corn with chili powder or Tajin before drizzling with vinaigrette. Crumble cotija cheese over each bowl then finish with avocado slices, jalapeños, and fresh cilantro. Serve alongside tortillas for an extra touch!
