This dish packs all your favorite Southwest flavors into one delicious bowl. Seriously, it’s like a Tex-Mex treasure hunt for tasty toppings. In it, you’ll find chili and cumin spiced chicken, creamy black beans, a tangle of tender peppers, and a dollop of tangy sour cream. The base is a bed of golden-hued rice, which gets its beautiful color from turmeric--a spice that’s been around for centuries. It comes from the root of a plant from the ginger family and it’s known for its earthy flavor and signature deep yellow color. We guarantee you’ll dig this bowl from first to last bite.
