I threw this cilantro-lime chickpea and rice bowl recipe together for dinner with ingredients I already had in my house and it turned out so delicious I had to share. This recipe is a perfect summer dish and requires NO OVEN. It only took me about 30 minutes to make so it’s great for a healthy, quick dinner or lunch. Add in any other ingredients you want, like corn, sweet onion or avocado! While I ate it as a full meal, it could also be served in smaller portions as a yummy side dish.
