This recipe brings together everything you love about a taco on one hearty plate: shredded chicken, cheese, rice, beans, lettuce, and pico de gallo. We’ve kept most of the components separate, but this dish would be as equally delicious with everything mixed together. We love Monterey jack cheese for its melty texture and milky flavor, but If you can’t find it you can substitute with shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese for a little kick.

4) Just before the chicken finishes cooking, tear the romaine into bite size pieces. Juice half the lime into a medium bowl and whisk in 1 tbsp of vegetable oil to make a simple vinaigrette. Season vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste.

5) Remove rice from your Suvie and pour the beans into the pot, stirring to incorporate. Squeeze remaining lime half over the rice and beans. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6) Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces. Toss the romaine in the vinaigrette and then divide between plates. Divide rice and beans between plates and top with Monterey jack. Divide chicken between plates and spoon pico de gallo over each serving.
