Method
Rinse the rice, cover with 150 ml water, add 1 g salt, and cook for 15–18 minutes until tender.
Mix the cooked rice with the juice of half a lime3 and chopped cilantro4.
Cut the chicken1 into strips and rub with paprika, cumin, pepper, and 1 g salt.
Heat the oil and fry the chicken1 for 7–9 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Warm the beans and corn in a skillet for 2–3 minutes, dice the tomato7, and slice the avocado8.
Spoon the rice into a bowl as the base, then arrange the chicken1, beans, corn, tomato7, and avocado8 in sections.
Add the sour9 cream, sprinkle with grated cheddar10, and drizzle with the remaining lime3 juice.
Tips
- Why it works
- Cut the chicken into strips so it cooks evenly and doesn't dry out. If you cut it too thick, the inside stays raw.
- Substitutions
- Instead of red beans, use black beans or canned bean puree, 60 g. Instead of avocado, add slices of bell pepper, 75 g.
- Common mistakes
- If the chicken is undercooked, it's gray inside and won't turn crisp. Check with a knife or toothpick.
- Storing and reheating
- Keeps for 2 days in the fridge. Reheat in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, covering the plate. Add the avocado just before eating.
- Serve with
- Serve with crunchy corn chips for contrast. Good for a lunch at work or a picnic.
