Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups cooked jasmine rice
- 1 cup seasoned black beans
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken, infused with cumin and garlic
- 1 cup arepas, pan-fried and halved
- 1 ripe avocado, cut into wedges
- 1 cup zesty pico de gallo (diced tomatoes, onions, cilantro, lime juice)
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
- 1 lime, cut into wedges
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Start by cooking the jasmine rice according to the instructions on the package. Once it’s fluffy, set it aside to cool slightly.
- In a saucepan, warm the seasoned black beans over medium heat, adjusting the flavor with salt and pepper as needed. Stir occasionally until heated through.
- If you’re using rotisserie chicken, shred it and mix in cumin and minced garlic for extra flavor. If cooking from scratch, boil chicken breasts until tender, then shred.
- Prepare the arepas by pan-frying them until they achieve a crispy, golden exterior. Once done, slice them in half for easy serving.
- On a large platter, artfully arrange the jasmine rice, black beans, shredded chicken, and halved arepas in distinct sections for a colorful presentation.
- Place the avocado wedges around the platter and generously spoon the pico de gallo over the top. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese across the dish and serve Greek yogurt in a small bowl nearby.
- Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro and lime wedges for a burst of flavor.
Notes
- For a plant-based twist, swap the chicken for sautéed mushrooms and zucchini.
- Consider adding crispy fried plantains for a delightful sweetness that complements the savory elements.
