SOUTHWEST CHICKEN AND RICE BOWLS
This is a basic Tex-Mex chicken and rice salad recipe that can be found on most recipe sites. It makes a tasty and complete meal, especially if serving them in those round tortilla bowls (made from large tortillas), which makes for easy clean up! I usually serve ours with fresh baked cornbread. Sometimes I'll top it with...

Steps:
- 1. Prepare the brown rice mix according to package directions; set aside.
- 2. Add half of the taco seasoning to a gallon-size zip-lock bag, add chicken and shake bag to chicken.
- 3. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add seasoned chicken, and cook for 3 or 4 minutes per side or until chicken is browned and cooked through. Transfer cooked chicken to a plate.
- 4. In the same skillet, add the three diced peppers, and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until tender. Add more olive oil, if needed to keep peppers from sticking to skillet.
- 5. Stir in the corn, black beans, tomatoes, and cilantro. Add the prepared rice, cooked chicken, and remaining taco seasoning. Stir until thoroughly combined. Let the mixture simmer for about 3 or 4 minutes, or just until it's all heated through, stirring occasionally (to prevent sticking).
- 6. To serve, spoon chicken/rice mixture into 4 Tostado bowls (or serving bowls from your cupboard). Top each with a bit of the cheese (if using). Then sprinkle green onions and cilantro on top of each serving. Divide the avocado slices among the servings, and serve immediately.
