Description

Delicious fajita bowls with marinated chicken, sautéed vegetables, and fresh toppings.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 bell peppers (red and yellow), sliced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, sliced
  • 2 tbsp fajita seasoning
  • 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups cooked rice or tortilla chips
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • ½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients by washing and slicing the vegetables into thin strips.
  2. Marinate the chicken with fajita seasoning, minced garlic, lime juice, and olive oil for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the onions and bell peppers until tender and slightly charred (about 5-7 minutes).
  4. Push the veggies aside and cook the marinated chicken in the middle until browned and fully cooked (8-10 minutes).
  5. Assemble your bowls starting with a base of rice or tortilla chips. Layer on sautéed veggies, cooked chicken, avocado slices, and top with sour cream or yogurt.

Notes

  • For best results, allow the chicken to marinate longer for deeper flavor.
  • Feel free to add more toppings like cheese or jalapeños for extra flavor.
