Steps:

• In a glass bowl, add chicken tenders, margarita mix and salt. Stir so tenders are coated. Cover and refrigerate for 2-4 hours.
• While chicken is marinating, make your Pico de Gallo:
• In a bowl, mix together tomato, onion, jalapeno, salt, cilantro and juice from one lime
• Stir pico. Cover bowl and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• If making beans & spanish rice - make this about 20-30 minutes before you want to eat. The chicken takes less than 10 minutes to cook.
• After marinating, heat grill pan (or grill or air fryer) to medium high and spray heavily with non-stick cooking spray
• When skillet is heated, add half chicken tenders to grill pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side. Turn on your exhaust fan - trust me.
• Reduce heat to medium low and cook rest of chicken tenders.
• When chicken is done, prepare your bowls. Place the spanish rice in the middle of the bowl. Surround the edges with black beans. Stack 3-4 chicken tenders on top like a teepee.

Steps:

• Marinate chicken in margarita mix, tequila, and garlic in refrigerator for several hours, or overnight. (I soaked it overnight, and it was really flavorful.).

• Cook rice in 1 tablespoon oil, until lightly browned.
• Add chicken broth, salsa, cumin, and garlic salt; cover pan and simmer for about 25 minutes, or until rice is tender.
