Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Grains
- Start by cooking the brown rice or quinoa according to package instructions. Once done, set it aside.
Preparing the Chicken
- In a bowl, mix the chicken strips with the fajita seasoning, salt, and pepper until well-coated.
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken strips and cook until they are golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Sautéing the Vegetables
- In the same skillet, add the sliced bell peppers and onion. Sauté for about 5-6 minutes until tender and slightly charred.
Combining the Ingredients
- Add the black beans and cooked chicken back to the skillet with the vegetables, tossing everything together gently. Let it cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Assembling the Bowl
- In serving bowls, layer the cooked rice or quinoa, followed by the chicken and vegetable mixture. Top with avocado slices and any additional toppings of your choice.
Serving
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime, if desired. Dig in and savor each delicious bite!
Notes
For substitutions, feel free to swap out the chicken for grilled shrimp or crumbled tofu for a vegetarian delight. Prep the chicken and veggies ahead of time to save time on busy weeknights.
