Notes
Storage:
- These bowls are best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Ideally, store leftover components separately in airtight containers, then reheat the rice and chicken, and assemble fresh bowls with toppings before serving again.
- This is a great meal-prep recipe. Make and prep the ingredients in advance, then store in the fridge until ready to serve. Reheat the rice and chicken in the microwave, then assemble your bowls and layer with fresh toppings.
- Pat the Chicken Dry - Do this before seasoning so the chicken can adhere the taco seasoning well.
- Use your Favorite Taco Seasoning - We like to sprinkle the chicken with it before we pop it into the air fryer to cook.
- If you're in a crunch for time, use store-bought swaps - Buy pico de gallo or guacamole, even pickled red onions, to keep this meal quick to prep.
- Leftover rotisserie chicken is delicious too - Shred the meat and toss with taco seasoning before warming in a skillet. It's a great way to use leftovers.
- Salt the Rice and Beans Separately - Taste and adjust each component on their own so everything is well-seasoned.
- Use a Meat Thermometer - This will give you the most accurate read and the juiciest, most perfectly cooked chicken. Pull it at 165°F, then let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
