Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
To make the fajita chicken:
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 breasts), cut into thin strips
- 2 bell peppers any color, sliced
- 3 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 teaspoons cumin
- 2 teaspoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- Juice of 1 lime plus more for serving
To make the bowls:
- 1 head romaine lettuce
- 4 cups cooked rice
- 1 (15 ounce) can beans, drained & rinsed
- 1 (15 ounce) can can corn, drained & rinsed
- ½ red onion diced
- 1 avocado sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with foil.
- In a small bowl, stir together the cumin, chili powder, salt & pepper.
- Add the chicken and bell peppers to the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle oil and sprinkle seasoning over the chicken and peppers and then toss to combine.
- Bake for 20 - 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and squeeze the juice of 1 lime over the chicken and peppers.
- Assemble the bowls: start with lettuce and rice and then add beans, corn, cooked chicken and bell peppers, red onion, and avocado. Serve with a lime wedge to squeeze over the bowl before eating.
Notes
- Dressing: if you'd like to add a dressing, I'd recommend a creamy Cilantro Lime Dressing.
- Chicken: you can also use chicken tenders or chicken thighs.
