Instructions

  • Put 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a frying pan and once hot, add 180 g Chicken breast. Gently cook, turning occasionally for 6 minutes.
  • In a separate pan, heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil and cook 1 Red bell pepper for 4 minutes, until softened.
  • Add 1 teaspoon Chilli powder, 1 teaspoon Onion powder, 1 teaspoon Garlic powder, 1 teaspoon Paprika, 1 teaspoon Cumin, 1 teaspoon Ground coriander and 1 pinch Sea salt to the chicken, stir well and cook for a further 2 minutes, making sure the chicken is cooked through.
  • Divide 1 head Romaine lettuce to bowls and top with the cooked chicken, cooked peppers, 0.5 serving Cilantro Lime Rice, 0.5 Avocado, 100 g Black beans and 2 Tomatoes.
  • Squeeze over the juice of 0.5 Lime and sprinkle over 4 tablespoon Fresh coriander (cilantro).

Notes

  • Use leftover fillings in tacos or enchiladas
  • You don't need to use chicken - any protein will work: chicken, steak, fish, tofu or even grilled halloumi
  • You can use a store bought seasoning, but homemade is really easy
  • There are no real rules - think of a burrito filling and just put it all in a bowl!
  • You can serve these bowls warm or cold.
  • For extra flavour, you can marinate the chicken in the spices and oil for a couple of hours.
