1/3 cup of sour cream
1 1/2 cups of white or brown rice

1 cup of corn kernels thawed, if frozen

Directions
- Make the barbecue sauce: In a small Circulon saucepan over medium heat, combine the ketchup, vinegar, molasses, sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cloves, and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 5 minutes. Add salt to taste and set aside to cool.
- Make the bowls: Zest one of the limes. Squeeze the lime to yield 1 tablespoon of juice. In a large bowl, combine the lime zest, lime juice, and 1 tablespoon of the oil. Add the green cabbage, red cabbage, carrot, and onion and toss to combine. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside. Cut the remaining lime into wedges and set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream and 1/4 cup of the barbecue sauce. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, cook the rice according to package directions. In a small saucepan, warm the beans in their liquid. Cover both saucepans to keep warm and set aside.
- Heat a Circulon Elementum Double Burner Griddle over two burners on medium heat. Add the tortillas and cook, turning occasionally, until warmed and softened, 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a plate, cover to keep warm, and set aside.
- Warm the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil on the griddle over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until almost done, about 5 minutes per side. Brush both sides with the remaining barbecue sauce and continue to cook until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board, loosely cover with foil, and set aside.
- Arrange the rice in bowls. Use a slotted spoon to arrange the beans on top. Add the cabbage mixture, corn, and cheese. Slice the chicken and arrange it on the bowls. Drizzle with the sour cream mixture and garnish with the lime wedges and cilantro. Serve with the tortillas on the side.
