Tex-Mex Bowl with Cilantro Lime Vinaigrette
This Tex Mex Bowl, inspired by the Super Mex Bowl at Los Tios, is a super easy summer meal. Buy the chicken already grilled, the pico already chopped, the pepitas already roasted. Heat up some black beans and brown rice, run the blender to make a quick, just-spicy-enough dressing, and throw everything in a bowl.
