Taco Filling

Rice and Beans

Method

Preparing the Chicken

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Add the chicken breasts and coat well. Cover and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill or a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the marinated chicken for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Remove from heat and let rest before slicing.

Cooking Rice and Beans

  1. 3

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, combine the white rice and vegetable broth (or water). Bring to a boil, then reduce to low heat, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.

  2. 4

    Prepare the Beans

    In another pot, heat the canned black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Stir in chopped cilantro and lime juice, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Assembling the Tacos

  1. 5

    Assemble the Tacos

    Slice the grilled chicken into strips. Place the chicken strips into each soft taco shell. Serve with a side of rice and beans. Enjoy your delicious chicken tacos!
