Ingredients

Scale
  • 0.75 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ½ tsp chili powder
  • ½ tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large tortillas
  • 1 cup uncooked rice
  • 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, sliced
  • ¾ cup corn kernels
  • 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed

Instructions

  1. Marinate the Chicken: In a large bowl, combine diced chicken, lime juice, olive oil, chili powder, onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and salt. Mix well and let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cook Rice: While the chicken marinates, cook rice according to package instructions.
