Step 1: Cook the Cilantro-Lime Quinoa
Rinse the quinoa thoroughly in a fine-mesh sieve. In a medium saucepan, toast the rinsed quinoa over medium heat for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Add the broth and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let it steam, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Fluff with a fork, then stir in the lime zest, lime juice, and chopped cilantro.

Step 2: Marinate and Cook the Chicken
Pat the chicken dry. In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and lime juice to form a paste. Rub this mixture all over the chicken. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes (or up to 4 hours in the fridge). Cook on a preheated grill, grill pan, or skillet over medium-high heat for 6-8 minutes per side (for breasts) until cooked through (165°F internal temp). Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice into strips.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Cilantro-Lime Dressing
While the chicken cooks, combine all dressing ingredients (Greek yogurt, lime juice, cilantro, olive oil, garlic, honey, salt, pepper) in a blender or food processor. Blend until completely smooth. Add a tablespoon of water at a time if needed to reach a drizzling consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Step 4: Prepare All Toppings
While components cook, prepare your toppings: rinse and warm the black beans, dice the avocado (toss with a squeeze of lime to prevent browning), halve the tomatoes, shred the lettuce or cabbage, slice the red onion.

Step 5: Assemble the Bowls
In each serving bowl, start with a generous base of cilantro-lime quinoa. Arrange the sliced Southwest chicken, warm black beans, corn, diced avocado, cherry tomatoes, and shredded lettuce around the quinoa in neat piles.

Step 6: Drizzle and Garnish
Drizzle the creamy cilantro-lime dressing generously over each bowl. Garnish with optional toppings like sliced red onion, pickled jalapeños, a sprinkle of cotija cheese, or crushed tortilla strips for crunch.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy
Serve immediately, with extra lime wedges on the side. Encourage everyone to mix their bowl to combine all the glorious flavors and textures.
