  • 2 cups cooked rice
  • ½ cup Pico de Gallo
  • 2 tablespoon guacamole
  • 1 cup lettuce shredded
  • 1 cup black beans cooked

Instructions

  • Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the chicken and vegetables and toss until evenly coated.
  • Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Lightly spray with cooking oil.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
  • Divide the cooked rice between serving bowls.
  • Top with the chicken fajita mixture, grilled corn, black beans, pico de gallo, guacamole, jalapeños, lettuce and cilantro.
  • Finish with a generous squeeze of fresh lime juice and serve.
    • For the best texture and flavor, assemble the bowls just before serving.

Notes

  • Chicken thighs can be substituted for chicken breast.
  • Cilantro lime rice works wonderfully in these bowls.
  • Store toppings separately when meal prepping.
  • Add cheese, sour cream or hot sauce if desired.
  • Leftover fajita chicken is great for wraps, tacos and salads.
