-
1 tsp. olive oil
For the Cilantro-Lime Aioli:

¼ cup mayonnaise
-
2 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh cilantro
-
1 Tbsp. minced jalapeño
-
1 ½ tsp. fresh lime juice
-
⅛ tsp. garlic powder

Kosher salt & black pepper to taste
For the Bowl:
-
2 Tbsp. olive oil
-
3 cups Tyson® Grilled & Ready® Chicken Breast Strips
-
2 cups frozen or fresh corn kernels
-
1 ½ tsp. taco seasoning
-
1 (15-oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
-
1 avocado, sliced
-
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, quartered
-
Lime wedges, for garnish
-
Fresh cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
-
Cook the Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, 1¾ cups water, and ½ tsp. salt. Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 17 minutes or until tender and water is absorbed. Fluff with a fork, then stir in cilantro, lime juice, and olive oil. Set aside.
-
Make the Aioli: In a bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, garlic powder, and 2 tsp. water. Season with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve.
-
Heat the Chicken: In a nonstick skillet, heat 1 Tbsp. olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken strips and cook, tossing occasionally, until warmed through—about 4 minutes. Remove and set aside.
-
Sauté the Corn: In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil (if needed) and corn. Sprinkle with taco seasoning and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly charred.
-
Assemble the Bowl: Layer the rice into serving bowls. Top with grilled chicken, seasoned corn, black beans, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and lime wedges. Drizzle with cilantro-lime aioli and garnish with fresh cilantro.
