Ingredients: 
Taco Bowls (Got mine at Macey's)
Cilantro Lime Rice (see recipe below)
Shredded lettuce
Shredded chicken seasoned with taco seasoning
Diced tomatoes 
Avocado
Chopped green onion
Olives
Shredded cheese
Ranch for the dressing 


Directions:
Fill bottom of taco bowl with Cilantro Lime Rice. Then top with lettuce, shredded chicken and the rest of your toppings. Super easy!

Cilantro Lime Rice

• 1 cup extra long grain rice or basmati rice
• 1/2 lime, juice of
• 2 cups water
• 1 tsp salt
• 3 tbsp fresh chopped cilantro
• 3 tsp vegetable oil

In a small heavy pot, add rice, water, 1 tsp oil and salt. Boil on high until most of the water evaporates. When the water just skims the top of the rice, reduce to low and cover about 15 minutes. Shut off flame and keep covered an additional 5 minute.

In a medium bowl, combine chopped cilantro, lime juice, rice and remaining oil and toss until completely mixed.

BBQ Chicken Salad

Tyler and I love Zupas. We would eat there all the time if we could. Last night we decided to try and make one of Tyler's favorite Salads, BBQ chicken salad. So Yummy, and depending on the amount of dressing, relatively healthy. It is also nice and filling.

1 Head Romaine Lettuce

1 Can of Corn (not creamed)

1 Can of Olives

1 Can of Black Beans (We had it without the beans and it was still good)

1/2 Red Onion

1-2 Tomatoes

2 Chicken Breasts

1 TBS Oil

Tortilla stips (or crumbles tortilla chips)

BBQ Sauce

Ranch

Step 1: Coat frying pan with Oil and grill Chicken

Step 2: (While chicken is cooking) Rip lettuce into bite size pieces, cube veggies, drain and rinse corn and beans, and slice olives. Put each topping into separate bowls (this is especially useful when you have guests,)

Step 3: When the chicken is finished cooking, cube, and put in bowl.

Step 4: Assemble salad with desired toppings.

Step 5: Drizzle Ranch and BBQ sauce on salad.

Notes: If you know the topping portions you want, you can pre-assemble salad. If you add too much dressing/sauce it overpowers the other flavors and doesn't give the right kick that you need.
