Toppings and Sides

Method

Marinating the Chicken

  1. 1

    Prepare Marinade

    In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lime juice, minced garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken

    Add the chicken thighs to the marinade, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for better flavor.

Cooking the Chicken and Chorizo

  1. 3

    Grill the Chicken

    Preheat the grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chicken from the marinade and grill for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

  2. 4

    Cook the Chorizo

    While the chicken is grilling, heat a skillet over medium heat. Remove the casing from the chorizo and crumble it into the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until cooked through.

  3. 5

    Combine Chorizo and Cheese

    Once the chorizo is cooked, stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well combined. Remove from heat.

Preparing Rice and Beans

  1. 6

    Mix Rice and Beans

    In a bowl, combine the cooked white rice, black beans, chopped cilantro, and salt to taste. Mix well.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plate the Dish

    On a plate, serve a portion of the rice and beans, topped with the grilled chicken, and smothered with the chorizo and cheese mixture. Garnish with shredded lettuce.

  2. 8

    Add Tortillas

    Serve with two warm corn tortillas on the side.
