Simple, quick, tasty weeknight meal for 2. There was even extra but our 5 year old wasn't having any of it.
You'll need:
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into strips
- 2 instant yellow rice cups, or 1 instant rice pouch
- 1 can (15 oz) seasoned black beans
- 1/4 cup shredded fiesta blend cheese
- 2 small tomatoes, diced
- 1/4 cup shredded lettuce
- hot sauce or taco sauce of choice
- sour cream
Instructions:
- Over medium heat, cook the chicken until done and becoming crispy on the edges, season with salt + pepper
- Microwave the instant rice according to the package instructions
- Drain a bit of the black beans liquid, pour the rest into a bowl, cover with a paper towel, and microwave until warm
- Plate it up: add rice and lettuce at the bottom of a wide bowl, add beans and liquid in the center, stack cooked chicken around the beans and top with cheese, tomatoes, sour cream, and taco sauce
