Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 teaspoons taco seasoning (store-bought or homemade)

4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup corn (frozen or fresh)

1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained

1 small red onion, diced

1 bell pepper, diced (any color)

1 avocado, diced

Juice of 1 lime

Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: shredded cheese, sour cream, sliced jalapeños

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chicken breasts with olive oil and taco seasoning. Toss the chicken pieces until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.

      Cook the Chicken:

        Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and are cooked through. After cooking, remove the chicken from the skillet, allow it to rest for 5 minutes, then slice into thin strips.

          Sauté Vegetables:

            In the same skillet where the chicken was cooked, add the diced red onion and bell pepper. Sauté for approximately 3-4 minutes until they soften. Next, incorporate the corn and black beans, stirring well to combine. Continue cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

              Prepare the Zoodles:

                In a separate pan, lightly heat the spiralized zucchini over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. This is just enough time to warm the zoodles without compromising their crunch. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

                  Assemble the Bowls:

                    Start by placing a generous portion of zoodles in each serving bowl. Layer the sautéed vegetable mixture on top, followed by the sliced taco chicken, halved cherry tomatoes, and diced avocado.

                      Add Lime & Garnish:

                        Squeeze fresh lime juice over each assembled bowl to brighten the flavors and garnish with chopped cilantro. Feel free to include optional toppings such as shredded cheese, sour cream, or slices of jalapeños for an extra kick.

                          Serve:
