Ingredients
Home-kitchen amounts for 2 — standard home-cooking quantities for this dish, not the chain’s recipe (chains do not publish theirs). Difficulty: Easy.
- 1 cup (200 g) long-grain white rice
- Juice of 1 lime, plus wedges to serve
- ¼ cup chopped coriander leaves
- 400 g tin black beans, drained and rinsed
- 300 g chicken thigh fillets
- 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 avocado, 1 tbsp lime juice and a pinch of salt (for the guacamole)
- 1 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
- ½ cup pico de gallo (diced tomato, red onion, coriander, lime)
Method
- Cook the rice, then fork through half the lime juice and most of the coriander. Season with salt.
- Rub the chicken with cumin, paprika, salt and a little oil. Grill or pan-fry 5–6 minutes per side, rest, then slice.
- Warm the black beans in a small pan with a pinch of cumin and salt.
- Mash the avocado with lime juice and salt — chunky, not smooth.
- Build each bowl: rice first, then beans, chicken, lettuce, pico de gallo and a generous spoon of guacamole.
