The Mexican Rice Bowl

This one is modified from this website.  http://wholeandheavenlyoven.com/2015/01/26/mexican-chicken-fajita-rice-bowls/

I made the cilantro lime rice from the zatarans box, it had a subtle flavor and added a nice change from regular white rice.  I didn't dare do brown rice because my family hates it.

1. boil and shred 1 chicken breast

2. in a large pan combine 1 can of black beans (drained and rinsed thoroughly), 1 can sweet corn (drained), 2 tbs of minced garlic, 2 fresh tomatoes (diced), 1 bunch of cilantro leaves, 1/4 cup (3-4 limes) lime juice and salt and pepper to taste.  cook until warm, stirring occasionally.

 3. add chicken to corn and bean mixture and place over rice.  add avocado or sour cream if desired.

4. can also eat with chips or in a corn tortilla if desired.
