  • Season the chicken well: Use a combination of spices to give the chicken a flavorful crust. Some good options include chili powder, cumin, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder.
  • Make sure the rice is cooked properly: The rice should be tender and fluffy, not mushy or undercooked.
  • Use a large bowl for assembly: This will make it easier to mix all of the ingredients together.
  • Serve the taco bowls immediately: This will ensure that the chicken is hot and the toppings are fresh.
