Step 1
Toss the chicken with the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, half the olive oil, and a generous pinch of salt.
Step 2
Heat a cast-iron or heavy skillet over high heat until it's smoking. Add the chicken in a single layer. Don't move it for about 3 minutes so it gets a real char.
Step 3
Stir and cook another 2 minutes until the chicken is just cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
Step 4
Add the remaining olive oil to the same pan along with the peppers and onion. Cook over high heat, tossing occasionally, until they're charred in spots and just tender, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Return the chicken to the pan to warm through. Build bowls with rice, the chicken and peppers, sliced avocado, and a heavy squeeze of lime.
