Ingredients

Scale

1 lb lean ground chicken
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tbsp taco seasoning
1 cup rice or quinoa (uncooked)
Juice of 1 lime
¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
¼ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)

Instructions

Prepare the rice or quinoa according to package instructions.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add the diced bell pepper and cook until soft.
Increase the heat slightly and add the ground chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and no longer pink (about 7-10 minutes).
In the last minute of cooking, stir in taco seasoning and minced garlic.
Remove from heat and drizzle lime juice over the mixture.
Assemble the bowls by layering rice or quinoa at the bottom, followed by the seasoned chicken mixture. Top with cilantro, cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, and any additional toppings.
