Method
Chicken Filling
- 1
Cook the Chicken
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast, taco seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking. Once done, remove from heat and set aside.
Rice

Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the white rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork before serving.
Beans

Heat the Beans
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the rinsed black beans, cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until heated through. Adjust the seasoning to taste.

Assemble the Tacos
In each taco shell, layer the cooked chicken, rice, and black beans. Top with shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded cheese, and a dollop of sour cream. Drizzle with salsa as desired. Serve immediately.
