Ingredients 

  • 1 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1.5 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed into 1.5 inch pieces
  • 2 tbsp homemade taco seasoning, or storebought
  • 8 cups romaine lettuce, chopped
  • 2 cups black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/3 cup cotija cheese
  • cilantro, chopped - for serving
  • 1 batch spicy green taco sauce

Instructions 

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add avocado oil and cubed chicken. Sauté, stirring often, until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through (about 6–8 minutes). Add taco seasoning and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring to coat the chicken evenly. Remove from heat.
  • Divide romaine, black beans, bell pepper, and tomatoes evenly into 4 bowls. Top each with cooked chicken.
  • Sprinkle with cotija cheese, add fresh cilantro, and top with spicy green sauce to finish the bowls. Feel free to add extra toppings like green onions, sour cream, or lime wedges.
