Tips and Substitutions
If you're store isn't stocked with or you're unable to find Bush's® Sidekicks™ Taco Fiesta™ Black Beans, you can use their Southwest Zest Sidekicks flavor or with regular canned black beans or charro beans.
Romaine lettuce, iceberg, green leaf, or mixed greens work in this bowl.
If you prefer seasoned rice, simply toss the cooked rice with 2 tablespoons fresh chopped cilantro, 1 tablespoon lime juice, and ½-1 teaspoon garlic salt.
Freshly grilled, crispy, or rotisserie chicken are all excellent proteins for this dish. Seasoned and chopped steak or shrimp are also delicious options.
Crushed tortilla chips can be used in place of tortilla strips.
Monterey Jack, cheddar, or Colby jack are also excellent cheese choices for this recipe.
