Chili Powder (1 tsp)
Cumin (1 tsp)
Jasmine Rice (2 cups cooked)

Instructions
Dry chicken thoroughly before coating in spices
Sear chicken in hot oil for 2 minutes per side
Layer warm rice in bottom of bowls first
Arrange lettuce, tomatoes, and corn on top

Notes
Toss seasoned chicken in oil before cooking to prevent spice clumping
Separate shredded lettuce into individual leaves for crispness
Prep avocado last to prevent browning
Use balsamic vinegar instead of wine-based sauces
Substitute black beans for fresh corn for a lighter texture
Replace chicken with saffron rice for a meat-free option
Season rice with vegetable broth for extra flavor
