Add oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat; add chicken, breaking it up while cooking; add onion; cook until chicken has browned and onion is translucent.
Move the chicken and onion over to the side of the skillet; drizzle a little oil on the empty side; add the uncooked rice; toss it around a bit to toast it. Stir in spices, chicken broth/stock, salsa, corn and black beans. Bring liquids to a simmer; reduce heat to low; cover; cook for 18 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed.
Taste the rice; adjust seasoning to desired taste. Add tomato, cheese and avocado over the rice; cover until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
Serve garnished with green onion and cilantro, if desired.
