Notes

 
  • Chicken: The chicken can be either pan-seared or grilled. Feel free to use boneless chicken thighs or any other protein of your choice.
  • Corn: If you can use freshly grilled corn it would be even better. But canned or frozen corn will work.
  • Black or pinto beans work well.
  • Any rice will work but if looking for a low-carb option, you may use cauliflower rice.
