Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by cooking your rice according to package directions.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Grill it over medium-high heat for about 6-8 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
  3. In a small pot, add the rinsed black beans and corn. Heat them over low heat for about 5 minutes until warmed through.
  4. While everything is cooking, chop the tomatoes, slice the avocado, and chop the cilantro. Get the lime wedges ready too.
Assembly
  1. In each bowl, layer the cooked rice first, then top it with sliced grilled chicken, black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, avocado slices, and shredded cheese.
  2. Sprinkle fresh cilantro and squeeze lime juice on top.
Serving
  1. Add a dollop of sour cream and salsa if desired. Dig in and enjoy!
