Ingredients:
For the Chicken: - 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (or thighs for extra juiciness) - 2 tsp chipotle chili powder (adjust to your spice preference) - 1 tsp smoked paprika - 1 tsp cumin - ½ tsp garlic powder - ½ tsp onion powder - Salt and pepper to taste - 1 tbsp olive oil
For the Black Beans: - 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained - ½ tsp cumin - ½ tsp chili powder - 1 clove garlic, minced - 1 tbsp lime juice - 1 tsp olive oil
Toppings: - 1 cup shredded lettuce or spinach - ½ cup diced tomatoes - ½ cup diced avocado or guacamole - ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (as a high-protein sour cream alternative) - ¼ cup shredded cheddar or cotija cheese (optional) - Fresh cilantro for garnish - Lime wedges for serving
