# Method:

01 - Set oven temperature to 425°F (220°C). Line a large rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper or foil for simplified cleanup.
02 - In a large bowl, blend olive oil, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and lime juice. Toss chicken pieces until thoroughly coated.
03 - Place marinated chicken on one side of the sheet pan. Evenly distribute sliced bell peppers, red onion, cherry tomatoes, black beans, and corn on the remaining area. Drizzle vegetables lightly with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
04 - Transfer the sheet pan to the oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring vegetables halfway through. Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and vegetables are tender with some caramelized edges.
05 - While chicken and vegetables roast, cook rice if not already prepared and set out all desired toppings for assembly.
06 - Divide cooked rice among four bowls. Add roasted chicken, vegetables, black beans, and corn. Top with shredded lettuce, cheese, salsa, sour cream, avocado slices, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve with tortilla chips or warm tortillas as desired.
