Sometimes, the best busy-day, time-is-tight meals are ones that you assemble instead of cook. Here’s a great example: a rice bowl that you build from convenience foods—precooked rice, rotisserie chicken, packaged coleslaw mix, and salsa. Of course, creamy avocado is the perfect finishing touch. Since all of the seasoning comes from the salsa (which you’ll mix in when you’re ready to eat), choose one that delivers the flavours you love, from spicy to mild to tangy to roasty. Serve the rice and chicken chilled, heated, or at room temperature.
