Ingredients
  

  • Large Rotisserie Chicken Shredded
  • 2 Orange Peppers Diced
  • Bunch of Green Onions Chopped
  • Bunch of Cilantro Chopped
  • 1 jalapeno diced
  • 3 cups grape tomatoes diced
  • 3 cups cooked brown rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 2 cans black beans drained and rinsed
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Salt and Pepper to Taste
  • Taco Sauce

Instructions
 

  • Cook Rice according to package directions, substitute chicken broth for water. Shred chicken and dice all of the vegetables. Drain and rinse black beans. Mix together tomatoes, jalapeno, green onions, cilantro and orange peppers and lime juice, season lightly with salt and pepper. When using with meal prep divide all ingredients between containers. You can arrange in layers separate into corners for appearance. If you want to be able to reheat this dish, separating the tomato mixture into foil so you can remove before heating. I add the taco sauce or salsa to chicken before reheating.

Notes

Add Shredded Cheese! My kids always do and everything is better with cheese. Skip it if you are saving on fat or calories or dairy Add fresh avocados..slice in right before eating and add a squeeze of fresh lime. Make your favorite meat substitution. This is also great with ground beef or make seasoned shredded beef or pork in a crockpot. Add cilantro, lime, and cumin to rice as its cooking.
