Ingredients
- 3 cups cooked
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 2 tablespoons cilantro, coarsely chopped, plus more for garnish

- 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1/2 cup store-bought guacamole
Instructions
1. Season the rice: If your rice is not hot, reheat it in the microwave with a few teaspoons of water (this helps it to not dry out). Once warm, stir in the lime juice and chopped cilantro.
2. Heat the beans and corn: In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir the beans, corn, onion, and cumin together until hot. Taste and add a pinch of salt, if you like. Alternatively, heat in the microwave, covered with a paper towel, for 2 minutes, or until hot.
3. Heat the chicken: Place the chicken in a microwave-safe bowl, cover with a paper towel, and microwave for 2 minutes, or until the chicken is hot.
4. Assemble the bowls: In each of the 4 bowls, spoon about 1/2 cup of the rice, 1/2 cup of the beans, and the chicken strips. Add 1/4 cup of the cherry tomatoes to each bowl, and top with 2 tablespoons guacamole. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.
