  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup fresh corn kernels (frozen and thawed or fresh)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 ripe avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, sliced jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Spread 2 cups of cooled cooked rice or quinoa in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Shred the rotisserie chicken into bite-sized pieces, removing skin if desired.
  3. Rinse and drain 1 cup of black beans and add to the bowl.
  4. Add halved cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, finely chopped red onion, and chopped cilantro to the bowl.
  5. Add 1 cup of fresh or thawed corn kernels.
  6. In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the juice of 1 lime, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon ground cumin, salt, and pepper until emulsified.
  7. Pour the dressing over the bowl ingredients and toss gently but thoroughly.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt, pepper, or lime juice as needed. Add sliced jalapeños or chili powder for heat if desired.
  9. Add optional toppings such as shredded cheese or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt just before serving.

Notes

Use a quality rotisserie chicken for best flavor. Soak red onion in cold water for 10 minutes to mellow sharpness if desired. Toss gently to keep avocado and tomatoes intact. Keep ingredients chilled before tossing for freshest taste. Store components separately if prepping ahead.
