Avocado, sliced (optional)
19 -
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Scatter chopped cilantro over the top. Want extra flavor? Add some avocado slices and shake on red pepper flakes if you like, then dig in while it's warm.
02 -
Turn off the burner once your rice's ready. Cover it with Monterey Jack, toss a lid on, and let the cheese get nice and gooey for a minute or two.
03 -
Open the lid and see if all the liquid's gone and the rice is tender. If it's still a bit firm or soupy, toss the lid back on and let it cook just a few more minutes.
04 -
Crank the heat until everything just starts bubbling, then lower it. Pop a lid on and let it cook gently for about a quarter of an hour.
05 -
Pour in your salsa verde and chicken broth. Sprinkle in the uncooked rice and stir everything until it looks evenly mixed.
06 -
Toss black beans, shredded chicken, corn, and green chiles into your skillet. Give it a mix so everything starts to blend together.
07 -
Grab a small bowl and mash the chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, black pepper, and sea salt together. Sprinkle this into your skillet and mix till the onions and garlic are coated.
08 -
Set a big skillet on the stove, pour in your olive oil, and heat it on medium. Tip in the garlic and onions and cook, stirring around, until they smell awesome and get soft—should take a couple minutes.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Using leftover rotisserie chicken will save a bunch of time and makes everything taste great. If you want things a bit hotter, swap Monterey Jack for pepper jack cheese.
