Mexican Chicken and Rice Salad

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil

2 chicken breasts cut into small pieces

1 1/2 cups cooked rice, I used basmati

1 green bell pepper chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes chopped

1 cup frozen corn

1 cup black beans

6 green onions chopped

1 cup queso duro shredded

1/2 cup cilantro chopped

3 tbsp taco seasoning

juice from 1 lemon

juice from 1 lime

2 tbsp olive oil

salt and pepper to taste

1 avocado optional

Instructions

Heat olive oil in a non stick skillet over medium high heat. Season the chicken with the taco seasoning, add more if you want it spicier, and add chicken to skillet. Cook chicken for about 10 minutes until cooked through and starts to slightly brown. Remove chicken from skillet.
To the same skillet add the corn and cook over high heat just until it starts to char a little bit, no more than 2 minutes.
Add all ingredients to a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and toss. Refrigerate leftovers, good for up to 5 days.

Recipe Notes

If you don’t have queso duro cheese, you can use cheddar cheese.
