EatingWell: In complete hominy
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon cumin and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is just cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and toss with cilantro. Cover to keep warm.
Add bell peppers, carrots, onion, water and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt to the pan. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in hominy, garlic and the remaining 2 teaspoons cumin; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in green chiles and lime juice and cook for 1 minute more.
Serve the chicken over the hominy mixture, topped with avocado.
