Main Ingredients

  • 3 cup cilantro lime rice prepared and warm
  • 2 cup diced BBQ chicken warm or cold
  • 1 cup black bean corn salsa
  • 1 cup pico de gallo
  • 1 unit avocado sliced
  • 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 0.5 cup BBQ sauce
  • 0.5 cup ranch dressing
  • 0.5 cup French fried onions

Instructions
 

  • Start by gathering 4 shallow bowls to create your delicious BBQ chicken rice bowls.
  • Evenly distribute ¾ cup of warm cilantro lime rice into the bottom of each bowl. This will be the base for your bowl.
  • Top each bowl with ½ cup of diced or shredded BBQ chicken, ensuring everyone gets a hearty portion. If you’re using leftover chicken, make sure it’s warmed up for the best flavor.
  • Add ¼ cup of black bean corn salsa to each bowl, followed by ¼ cup of pico de gallo for a fresh kick. This adds both color and flavor to your dish.
  • Place a quarter of the sliced avocado in each bowl for a creamy texture. Avocado not only tastes great but also adds healthy fats.
  • Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each bowl. This will melt slightly if the chicken is warm, creating a delicious gooey texture.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons of BBQ sauce and 2 tablespoons of ranch dressing on each bowl for extra flavor. The combination of these sauces provides a fantastic balance of tangy and sweet.
  • Finish off by adding a generous sprinkle of crispy French fried onions for that perfect crunch. This adds a delightful texture contrast to the creamy and soft ingredients.

Notes

Feel free to customize your bowls with additional toppings like jalapeños or sour cream. For a vegetarian option, replace the BBQ chicken with grilled vegetables or tofu.
